The application process includes an electronic application—a chance to document a student’s life in and out of the classroom—and an on-campus interview. The interview is a friendly conversation with the New Hampton School community; applicants tour campus with students, observe classes in action, and meet with a member of the school’s admission team. We’re eager to see what matters to applicants, what drives them, what inspires them. And to make sure that whatever it is, they’ll find it here. As part of our commitment to environmental sustainability we prefer that you complete our application online. Click here to access the online application. In addition to our own application, New Hampton School welcomes the common applications found on the SSAT website or on The Association of Boarding Schools website. If you prefer to download our application and mail it to us, please click here. |
