Admission

Philosophy

St. Margaret's Episcopal School seeks students of exemplary character who demonstrate the ability to succeed in an academically demanding program, who show potential for engagement in leadership and service opportunities, and whose parents' educational and developmental goals align with those of the school. The Admission Committee evaluates each applicant on a variety of factors, including academic records from current schools, student and parent questionnaires, recommendations from current teachers, interviews and performance on standardized assessments. Children applying to Preschool and Kindergarten participate in a developmental screening and playgroup. In all divisions, the admission process is rooted in finding the best match between prospective families and St. Margaret's Episcopal School.

Special consideration is given to qualified siblings of current St. Margaret's students and children of faculty, staff, alumni, and members of the Episcopal Church. As with all admission decisions, the match between the student and St. Margaret's is of primary importance.

Non Discrimination Policy

St. Margaret's Episcopal School does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, color, religion, sexual orientation or national and ethnic origin in the administration of its educational, admission, financial aid, hiring and athletic policies or in other school-administered programs.
