Frequently Asked Questions About Admissions
Do you accept applications for the fall after the deadline?
We will consider applicants to Pierrepont School after the deadline. If a space becomes available, we will consider new applicants as well as applicants from our waitlist.
What is your admissions philosophy?
Parents and schools share the same goal in admissions: both parties want to ensure a good fit between the child and the educational environment. The admissions procedure at Pierrepont is designed to present parents with honest information about our curriculum and our values as a community. Our hope is to give each applicant and parent a clear picture of the educational experience they can expect to have in our school.
How do you determine which students would be a good fit for Pierrepont?
Admissions decisions are based on all information gathered from the application and interview process. We consider school records, testing, our evaluation, and school visit to determine which candidates would thrive in our school.
Do you have open houses or tours?
We will be hosting Pierrepont Open House Events this year and the dates will be available in your Ravenna account. Please fill out the form at the top of this page to attend an Open House Event and/or schedule a tour.
Are there specific entry grades for new students?
No, but please see below.
Do you admit high school students?
We will consider freshman candidates in special circumstances, but in general, the difficulty of integrating older students into our curriculum precludes high school admissions. By the time they reach high school most Pierrepont students have studied Latin, Greek, and Mandarin Chinese for several years and are at least a grade level ahead in mathematics and science; therefore, it is not always possible to place incoming high school students within our existing groups.
Do you require standardized testing for admission?
Students applying for entrance to grades K-7 do not need to submit standardized test scores, though may if any scores are available. Students applying for 8th grade and above are required to submit their results from a standardized test. We accept the ERB/SSAT/Connecticut State tests and other assessments with permission.
What are the tuition fees for 2025-2026?
- Born 2007 – 2014: $57,200
- Born 2015 – 2020: $54,500
Do you offer financial aid?
Yes, Pierrepont offers need-based financial aid to students. Please apply for financial aid by visiting https://www.solutionsbysss.com/parents/. Please keep in mind that we consider Financial Aid applications on a rolling basis so late applicants (that otherwise qualify) may not be offered financial support.
What are Pierrepont’s school hours?
The school opens at 8:00 am Monday through Friday. Classes are held 8:30-3:25 Monday through Friday. After-school activities take place from 3:25-4:10 Monday through Thursday.
Do you have academic support services for students?
Unfortunately, we are not able to serve students with significant learning differences. We do not have special education services at Pierrepont and we are not equipped to offer academic remediation.
