Admissions Procedures
We look forward to getting to know your family during the admissions process!
Please know that our Admissions Team will be with you every step of the way. We strive to make the process as seamless and stress-free as possible. You can always email us with any questions. Before submitting your application, we highly recommend learning more about progressive education at Far Brook by attending either a Campus Tour and/or a Virtual Open House. You can register for these events (and more!) here.
