Upper School: Grades 9-12

The following steps must be completed before an application to the Upper School will be reviewed by the Admission Committee.

The Summit accepts applications to grades 10-12 throughout the year - decisions are rendered on a rolling admission basis, as space permits. Admission to the ninth grade is competitive. To ensure consideration for admission and scholarships, candidates applying to ninth grade are encouraged to begin the application process in October of their eighth-grade year and take the entrance exam at The Summit .
Submit the admission application with the $50 non-refundable processing fee. Please make checks payable to The Summit Country Day School. In an effort to acquaint ourselves with prospective students, an applicant photo - though optional - is appreciated.
Applicants seeking admission to grades 9 -12 must submit the following: English, Math, and principal or counselor recommendation forms; school records from the previous two years; student application; and parent application and recommendation forms. Applicants to grades 9-12 are required to take The Summit entrance exam (HSPT), which is administered at The Summit on specific key dates throughout the year. Please contact the Admission Office to register your child for testing. There is a $25 fee for the test.
Once the application has been submitted, a visit should be scheduled through the Admission Office for applicants entering grades 9-12. Applicants for these grades will visit with their peers from 8:15am to 3:15pm. Lunch is provided.
Admission and scholarship decisions for ninth-grade applicants are rendered in early January. Once the admission process is completed for grades 10-12, the Admission Office will communicate to the parents regarding the Admission Committee's decision. If the grade level the applicant is applying for is full, notification will occur in early March.
Parents who would like to learn more about The Summit are encouraged to meet with an Admission Associate and tour the campus.
