The enrollment process for September admission traditionally begins in the fall/winter prior to the school year in which the student will attend. Students are also accepted throughout the year, as mid-year vacancies do occur.

To request an application packet, select admissions@dorriseaton.com, or download the Application.

During the fall and early winter, we offer group tours for parents (see Admissions Calendar). Individual tours are also available by appointment throughout the year. Students and parents are invited and encouraged to attend our annual Open House (typically held in January or February) to tour the campus and meet teachers, current students, and administrators. Check back for actual date.

Families seeking admission should complete an application and mail it along with the $150 evaluation fee to the school. Once an application is received, the candidate is scheduled for an evaluation. We offer both small group and individual kindergarten evaluations. Applicants for grades 1 through 8 are usually interviewed and evaluated individually. Evaluation results, along with progress reports and input from current teachers, are integral to the admissions process.

In addition to the on-campus evaluation, applicants for grades 6-8 take the Independent School Entrance Examination (ISEE). Students may elect to take the ISEE at Dorris-Eaton or another site. An ISEE brochure is included with junior high application materials, or for more information, go to www.iseetest.org.
