ADMISSIONS FAQS

Families who submitted an application by our priority deadline of February 1 will receive their admissions decision in early March. If you applied for financial assistance, you will also receive an email with details about your award package. Enrollment decisions are due by the end of March. Please check back for the official 2026–2027 admission notification dates.

Yes! If our class is full, waitlist spots are offered. Families of waitlist candidates will be notified as spaces become available and are not required to submit a deposit to remain on the waitlist.

We have limited spots available and consider applications for rolling admissions on a space-available basis. Contact admissions@gillispie.org to inquire about your class’s availability. If the class is full, we invite you to apply to join our waitlist for 2025-2026.

Admissions decisions are based on a holistic review of each applicant. One of the factors we take into consideration is having siblings of current and past Gillispie families, as well as children of alumni and/or school employees.

Each year, we award around $715k in financial assistance for qualifying families. We also offer a monthly payment plan option. Check out our tuition and financial assistance page for more information!
