Important dates are highlighted below, along with a suggested timeline for your participation in the admissions process. Geneva School follows the ISAAGNY guidelines for notification, and we have a rolling admissions policy after notification as seats are available. There are no application deadlines per se, however it is strongly suggested that the timelines below be followed to maximize your chance for available seating.

Admission Timeline

The following timeline is suggested by our admissions committee to help maximize your chance for enrollment given our small class sizes and limited availability.

October-January

• Return your application, including your non-refundable $75 application fee.
• Schedule a tour or open house visit, or begin scheduling your family interview, student assessment and class visit at Geneva School.
