Admissions >  Overview 

Thank you for your interest in Nichols School. We are an independent, coeducational, college preparatory day school educating students in fifth through twelfth grades. Cultivating integrity and social concern, we foster an environment where students steadily develop habits of hard work, commitment and responsibility in their academic, social, and personal lives.

Nichols seeks to admit those students who have the potential to thrive in a demanding environment of intellectual, artistic, and athletic excellence. Our admissions process evaluates a student’s character, intellectual curiosity, and capacity for scholastic achievement at an accelerated level.
