Guide to Admissions

Families are encouraged to come take a tour of our school before submitting an application. Tours can be arranged with our Admissions Director Katie Pottinger by emailing kpottinger@princetonjuniorschool.org, or by submitting a Visit our School form. 

Parents complete and submit an online application with a $50 nonrefundable application fee.

Once your child's application has been submitted, the admissions office will email a Release of Records form to you. The parent's electronic signature on this form is required, granting permission for your child's school to share their records with the PJS admissions committee. 

For students applying to the Early Childhood or Kindergarten Programs, a Teacher Recommendation form is required.

For students applying to Grades 1-6, a copy of your child's progress reports are required in addition to the Teacher Recommendation form. All forms and records must be submitted directly o PJS from the child's school.

Once the application has been received, the Admissions Office will reach out to schedule a time for your child's admissions visit. Children applying to the Early Childhood Program and Kindergarten will spend the morning at PJS in a class with their peers. Children applying to Grades 1-6 will join us for a full day visit.

The Admissions Committee will review the child’s forms, records, and results of their admissions visit. Careful consideration is given to ensure that the School is a good fit for each family. Admissions decisions are made on a rolling basis, and will be given within two weeks of the completion of your child's application.
