Students entering the Upper School will be evaluated, reviewing readiness in math, reading, writing, and grammar at the appropriate grade level. The next Upper School Readiness Testing Date is Wednesday, February 3rd with two sessions from which to choose, or can be scheduled by appointment.
Members of Hunter’s Class of 2029: these students will be the first graduates of the Hunter School.
Step 3: Family Conversation
After reviewing your application materials and your child’s student readiness assessment, Admissions will contact families invited to continue in the admissions process to arrange a Family Conversation (parent interview).
This conversation gives us an opportunity to learn more about your child, discuss Hunter’s Christian mission and educational approach, consider the partnership between home and school, and answer any questions you may have.
Step 4: Acceptance and Enrollment
Upon a student’s acceptance to The Hunter School, a letter will be sent to the family along with the school covenant and an enrollment contract. The signed school covenant and the enrollment contract must be returned along with a $1,000 deposit by the date stated in the acceptance letter.
Tuition payments begin in June and may be made in one, two, or eleven payments.
A sibling discount is offered for each younger sibling of a current student. When one child in a family attends The Hunter School, the second receives a 10% discount off the full tuition; the third receives a 20% discount, the fourth a 30% discount; etc. Details are outlined in the tuition section.
