All application materials must be received by one of our two deadlines.

  2. Student Essays
  3. Parent statement
  4. Two teacher recommendations; preferably from a Math and English/Language Arts teacher
  5. Past two years of transcripts from school(s) previously or currently attended
  6. Greenhills visit day and interview
  7. Official testing (optional)

APPLICATION DEADLINES
We are now accepting applications on a rolling basis.

Applicants to our December 13th early deadline will receive a decision by the end of January, and families who apply to the regular deadline, January 23rd, will hear back in early March. To guarantee you receive a decision at these times, all application materials must be submitted by the deadlines, including applications for financial aid. Early applications are best suited for families who may have specific reasons to know about their acceptance to Greenhills early, such as other school contracts, a sibling already attending Greenhills, or potential family moves. After our January deadline, applications are considered on a rolling basis based on a variety of factors including space in our classes.

We are now accepting applications!
