How to Apply
We are delighted that you are interested in applying to The Episcopal School. During this challenging time, our faculty and staff have remained committed to providing our children with a nurturing, engaging, and supportive learning environment. Though our building may be closed to visitors during school hours, we hope to share with you what it means to be a part of the Episcopal community. To ensure the safety of our faculty, staff, and students, the majority of this year’s admissions process will be conducted virtually; however, we are hopeful to hold optional in-person events, the details of which are forthcoming.
To request an application for the 2022—2023 school year, please visit our website beginning Wednesday, September 8th at 8:30 a.m. and complete the inquiry form. Once the inquiry form is received, applications will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Should we be able to offer your family an application, you will receive a link to create an account and submit the application online.
Upon receipt of your application, families will receive access to our Prospective Parents Page, which will feature additional content and resources about Episcopal's program. We will schedule two virtual sessions with your family. In the fall, you will be invited to a virtual information webinar to learn more about Episcopal. Additionally, each family will have the opportunity for a one-on-one Zoom meeting with our admissions team; this will be a chance to answer your questions, get to know your family, and briefly meet your child.
The Episcopal School is a member of the School and Student Service (SSS), an organization that provides financial aid analysis for independent schools. In order for the School to determine a family’s need for financial aid, a Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) must be submitted to SSS. Please visit https://sssbynais.org/parents for more information on how to submit a PFS.

Decisions for the 2022—2023 school year will be sent via email on Thursday, March 3, 2022. Parents are required to respond by Thursday, March 10.
