Hoya for a Day

In our experience, the boys who do well at Prep are the ones who are able to get a sense that the school has the right environment to bring out their talents. The best way to do that is to visit during a regular class day, and if you want to apply to the resident school, spend the night, or a weekend. Schedule a visit by clicking on the button, "Schedule Hoya for a Day," on the main admissions page of this Web site.

Steps in the Application Process

To apply to Prep, complete an application online (use the "Apply Now!" link to the right). A $50 online application fee ($100 for paper and $100 for international students) must accompany the application. This can be mailed to the admissions office separately. A MasterCard or Visa number with expiration date can be indicated at the end of the essay if this is more convenient. In making our decision, the most important factors are:

1. Your grades (accepted students are usually B+ and higher)

2. Your recommendations (two from teachers, and a third from someone who knows you outside of school - download or print  Teacher Recommendation Form )

3. The results of your Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT) (accepted students are usually above the 90th % nationally)

The last step is to return to Prep for an interview. It is the family's responsibility to schedule an interview.  Simply click on the "schedule interview" button on the main admissions page to do this. These interviews are conducted by Mr. Horsey or Mr. Hoffman between 9:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. on weekdays. It is not possible to request a specific interviewer. This is an important part of the application process, and it will help you to become better acquainted with the school. If you apply by January 15, you can expect an answer on March 1. Applications received after January 15th are accepted on a space-available basis.
