How to Apply

Welcome!

We are delighted that you are considering Long Trail School.

Choosing the right school is an important decision, and our admission process is designed to help you determine if Long Trail is the right fit for your student and family. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our dynamic academic program, vibrant community, and the opportunities that inspire students in grades 6–12 to think critically, grow confidently, and discover their passions.

Throughout the admission process, you’ll work closely with our Director of Admissions and Advancement Katie Redding, who is dedicated to making your experience personal, informative, and welcoming. We encourage you to schedule a campus visit, meet our faculty and students, experience our Day In The Life and see firsthand what makes Long Trail School such a special place to learn and grow.

We look forward to getting to know your family and helping you explore all that Long Trail School has to offer.

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit, please contact Katie Redding.

We look forward to meeting you!

As part of the Application Checklist, we ask all prospective students to visit us for a full-day shadowing a student host as part of their decision about admission.  We welcome parents to Morning Meeting followed by a tour on visit day.  Families are welcome to come for a tour before a full-day visit if they like, and students can visit before or after they apply.  We can connect on a video call if necessary – please contact the Admissions Office to set that up.

 

In order to be considered for the first round of admissions decisions, applications are due February 1, with decisions sent mid-February.  After re-enrollment of current students and enrollment of the first round of new students, admissions decisions will be made on a rolling basis for any remaining seats.
