As a New York independent school, Geneva School begins the application process one year in advance of the desired entry date. While we strongly encourage families to begin the application process early in the fall, we strive to accommodate families after this time, accepting late applications if space is available.
September
We recommend applying early to maximize your chance for enrollment given our small class sizes and limited availability.
The online application for the 2023-2024 school year will be available beginning September 1.
October–December
Complete your family interview, student assessment and tour. You will be contacted to schedule the interview and assessment upon receipt of your completed application.
Submit supplemental documents (listed in the application) to Admissions no later than January 10.
December 15
Although we accept applications throughout the year where space is available, the December 15 deadline provides applicants with the best possible chance of admission and financial aid considerations.
January–February
Preschool applicants will be notified on February 9. Applicants for Kindergarten and up will be notified on February 2. Offers of admission must be accepted within 14 days of receipt.
