The Fletcher School's admissions process is designed to educate prospective parents and their children about our school and program. In addition, it allows us the opportunity to get to know the child and family. Based upon the information gathered during the admissions process, we are able to determine if our program is appropriate for a child.
The Fletcher School requests that the child's psychological and education evaluation include the WISC-IV or the Woodcock Johnson III Test of Cognitive Abilities and be current within a two-year time frame. If the child has an attention deficit disorder, we request that the neurological evaluation and diagnosis be no more than six months old.
The initial introduction to The Fletcher School is a parent visit which includes a tour of the school and an admissions consultation to discuss the child's needs. Both parents are required to attend the initial morning meeting.
To begin the admissions process, the first three pages of the application must be completed and returned with an application fee of $250, along with a picture of the applicant. Additional forms included in your application packet can be mailed or faxed upon completion. The application deadline is generally March 1st for the following school year. After this date, applications will be processed as they are received in the Office of Admissions.
The applicant will participate in two on-site activities. A placement assessment is given by an Admissions Tester. Using the assessment results, the student will be placed into classes on an appropriate level for a school visit. During the visit, the student will experience a regular school day in his/her current grade level. The Office of Admissions will call applicants by mid-May with an admissions decision. All openings are contingent upon our current student re-enrollment for the following school year.
The Fletcher School does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, religion or national origin in the administration of its educational programs, admissions policies, financial aid policies, employment practices or other school-administered programs.
