APPLYING TO PRIORY THE BEST PLACE TO START IS BY SETTING UP A CAMPUS TOUR AND VISIT! WE INVITE YOU TO SCHEDULE YOUR VISIT TO PRIORY BY CONTACTING OUR ADMISSIONS OFFICE. WE HAVE OUTLINED THE ADMISSIONS PROCESS AND TIMELINE BELOW. Priory offers a six-year program beginning in 7th grade, and we encourage families considering Priory to apply during their son’s 5th or 6th grade year. We do welcome applicants at all grade levels, including 9th grade, when we have space in a given class. The application process for all grades begins in the fall. Priory offers two types of admission to 7th grade: Early Decision and Regular Decision.
EARLY DECISION PROGRAM FOR 5TH GRADE BOYS Priory offers the Early Decision program for families who have investigated options early and decided that Priory is the best fit for their son. Early Decision applicants go through the admissions process and, if admitted, receive offers of enrollment during 5th grade for 7th grade entry. The requirements and the timeline are the same as for our Regular Decision applicants. We typically fill half of our class through our Early Decision program. The advantage of Early Decision is that your son knows he has a spot at Priory. He will begin to feel a part of the Priory 34 PRIORY | www.priory.org
community early, and he will have the benefits of spending time on campus, building camaraderie with future classmates, and feeling confident that he is prepared when when his 7th grade year begins.
REGULAR DECISION PROGRAM FOR 6TH GRADE BOYS Our Regular Decision applicants typically visit Priory for a day and begin the application process in the fall of 6th grade. We work closely with families throughout the application process and want prospective students to have an early opportunity to get to know our school.
