The Early Notification pathway is designed for families who value getting an admissions decision earlier in the year. This timeline allows you to:
-Complete the process before the winter holidays
-Receive your decision mid-January
-Have your child's educational plans finalized by mid-February
-Focus on transition planning with more lead time
Important Notes:
Our Regular Decision timeline follows the traditional independent school admissions calendar. This pathway is ideal for families who are:
-Applying to multiple schools and want to compare offers
-Following the standard timeline used by most area independent schools
-Planning for fall enrollment with a traditional March decision date
Important Notes:
Rolling Admissions offers maximum flexibility for families throughout the year. This pathway is perfect for:
-Families relocating to the Hoboken area
-Students seeking mid-year enrollment
-Families who missed traditional deadlines
-Anyone needing a more flexible timeline
