• Step II: Student Shadow & Interview

  Our school campus is closed, but the admissions team is still available to meet virtually. A phone meeting, Skype interview or Zoom meeting is available. Please contact a member of the Admissions Office at admissions@nicholsschool.org to schedule today.

• Step III: Testing

  Tests are not being held at this time. If your child has participated in any standardized testing, state testing or college preparatory testing, please provide that and it will be waived in lieu of the admissions test for now. If you do not have any of these test results available, we will be happy to discuss alternatives with you.

• Step IV: Parent Visit

  A parent meeting, Skype interview or Zoom meeting is available in place of an in-person visit to campus. Please contact a member of the Admissions Office at admissions@nicholsschool.org to schedule today. 

• Step V: Wait Pool

  After the initial January 17 application deadline, the Admissions Office continues to process applications and mail decisions for each grade until that grade is fully enrolled. As each grade becomes fully enrolled, a wait pool is established. Students in the wait pool are not assigned numerical priority. If space becomes available, students are selected from the wait pool by the Admissions Committee.
