Admissions

Greene Hill School is still accepting applications for the 2018-2019 school year. We have a limited number of spaces available in our Lower and Middle schools. Families interested in applying should contact the admissions office (admissions@greenehillschool.org) to discuss available openings.

We are currently accepting applications for the 2019-20 school year.  

Below are two convenient links to learn more about our Lower and Middle School.

We look forward to getting to know your family over the course of the admissions process and introducing you to Greene Hill School. We know that choosing a school for your child is an important decision and we are here to answer any questions you have along the way. Understanding that tuition is often a barrier to admission in independent schools, Greene Hill School has developed a sliding-scale so that families are paying for tuition in a more equal proportion with their income and finances.

Greene Hill School uses a web-based application called Ravenna for the submission of online applications. Additionally, through Ravenna you will be able to sign up for tours and open houses and upload supporting application documents.

Greene Hill School looks to follow the Independent School Admission Association of Greater New York (ISAAGNY) guidelines for admissions. Through our admissions process, we hope to fill classes with diverse groups of individuals. When constructing a class, we attempt to find a balance with regards to gender, but also take into consideration the interests and needs of each child as an individual as well as his/her ability to harmoniously participate with the group.

Preference will be given to residents of the local neighborhood. Special consideration will be given to siblings. Federal, State and City statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of certain protected classifications. Greene Hill School supports and complies with such laws in providing equal opportunity and consideration to all employees, and to all applicants and their families.

Greene Hill School (the “School”) admits students of any race, color, gender, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the School. Greene Hill School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sexual orientation, gender, national and ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies and other school-administered programs.
