All Pre-Connecting (Pre-K) and Connecting Class (Kindergarten) applications to Greenwich Academy must include the following:

PART I: APPLICATION FORM AND FEE
(Due as soon as possible)
The application for admission should be completed online with the non-refundable $75 application fee (fee waived if applying for financial aid).

Applications received after December 15 will be considered on a rolling basis, subject to available places in a grade.

(Scheduled between September and January)
An interview with the candidate’s parent/guardian is required as part of the application process. After receiving the application for admission, the Admission Office will call you to schedule an appointment to visit the school. Interviews take place beginning in mid-September through January. At this meeting, an admission associate will discuss the candidate’s interests and Greenwich Academy’s curriculum and philosophy. A tour of the campus will take place as well. Please allow approximately 90 minutes for your visit.

TESTING
Applicants to Pre-Connecting and Connecting Class will be assessed individually for approximately 30 minutes in the Admission Office on the main campus. Pre-Connecting and Connecting Class candidates will also visit in small groups at the Ridgeview Avenue campus. The Admission Office will schedule these appointments directly with the parent/guardian.

TEACHER RECOMMENDATION
(Due no later than January 15)
A recommendation from the candidate’s current teacher is required. Please submit this form to the appropriate teacher at the candidate’s current school after November 15.

Letters of notification will be posted in late February. For a candidate to be considered in this initial round of admission decisions, all parts of the application must be completed by January 15. Families are encouraged to contact the Admission Office if questions arise at any time during the process. We thank you for your interest in and consideration of Greenwich Academy.
