Each year, GreenMount will hold two Open House events where families can explore the school facility, view student work, and talk with students, teachers, and board members. For the academic year 2010-2011, the Open Houses will be held on October 23, 2010 from 10:00am - Noon and January 23, 2011 from 1:00pm - 3:00pm. Alternatively, call or email Elaine Doyle-Gillespie for a personal tour.

The deadline for submitting completed application materials and fees, and school records is usually the end of January, generally within a week or so of the second Open House. Financial aid applications are due early February.

Once you have submitted all application materials, application fees, and school records, we will contact you to schedule a day for the following:

• A parent meeting with the Admissions Director (approximately 1 hour)
• For children applying to grades K through 4 — a 90 minute classroom visit
  For children applying to grades 5 through 8 — a school visit lasting up to a half-day

The application process continues until full enrollment is reached. However, applications received prior to the specified January deadline will have priority consideration. Admissions notifications are usually made by March 1, and signed contracts and registration fees are due back in about three weeks. Should your child be placed on a waiting list, we will notify you if an appropriate opening becomes available.
