ENROLLMENT StepS

Steps 1-3 were completed during course selection. Please complete steps 4-5 here.

1. Math Placement on May 18

   We look forward to seeing your child for math placement testing on Saturday, May 18. Our math department will review information from this test in conjunction with your child's transcripts and previously submitted letters of recommendation to place them in the appropriate math class.

   If you have not scheduled your math placement testing or if you have any questions, please email academicoffice@greenhillsschool.org.

2. Music Selection (Indicated During Course Selection)

   Students joining Greenhills in 8th grade graders at Greenhills are placed in one of three music ensembles: Choir, Orchestra, or Jazz Band. While students cannot be guaranteed their top choice, their preference was recorded when their course selection form was submitted.

3. Language Placement (Indicated During Course Selection)

   Our middle school language program is a three-year sequence of study that starts with beginning level courses in the 6th grade and continues through the end of 8th grade. At Greenhills School we believe that the skills learned in each of the four languages are as important as the languages themselves, each of which yields great benefits to our students as they enter the global community.

   Because of the immersive format of our middle school language program, you will be placed into a different language course specifically designed for new students. Traditionally this has been a Latin-based Mythos course. On occasion, a student with prior language experience may place into a different language class; however, it is rare and requires setting up an individual placement assessment with a member of our language department. If you indicated a desire to try and place into a different language (e.g. Latin, French, Spanish, or Chinese), the department chair will contact you directly for scheduling.

4. Athletic Interest Forms

   Middle School is a wonderful time to branch out and try something new or keep up with something you love. This will not lock your student into participating in any sport, but will allow you to stay in the loop on team updates.
