How to Apply
Thank you for your interest in Spence!
For the next admissions season, we are accepting applications for Kindergarten, and Grades 6, 7 and 9. Please see grade-specific instructions and checklists below.
Spence will be utilizing the Thinking & Engagement (T&E) assessment for Kindergarten admissions for the next year admissions season. The deadline for the submission of the T&E Registration Form is Tuesday, December 1.
Middle and Upper School students and families will have several means by which to explore the benefits of a Spence education. Dynamic content posted on our website provides ways to learn more about the curricular and co-curricular offerings. In addition, synchronous and asynchronous opportunities to meet teachers, students and administrators at Spence gives one the chance to hear directly from our community of scholars about the Spence experience.
