Fenn’s priority application deadline is January 31. All applicants who submit materials by this date will receive a decision on March 10. After January 31, we strongly encourage you to inquire about any remaining spaces, and we will work with your family to complete the application process as quickly as possible.

1) Schedule a parent conversation with our team

We are eager to learn more about your son and to discuss your interest in Fenn! Please contact us to schedule a time to speak with a member of our Admissions team.

2) Visit Fenn's campus for a tour

We invite you and your son to visit Fenn's campus for a tour with our Admissions team! Tours typically last 60-75 minutes and are a great way to get a feel for Fenn's community, culture, and offerings. We also encourage you to learn more about Fenn through our videos and 360° virtual tour.

3) Complete the online application

If this is your first time contacting Fenn, please fill out an inquiry form, after which we will send you credentials to our online application portal.

If you already have a username and password, you can access the portal from the menu above by choosing How to Apply > Online Application Portal.

4) Request school materials & recommendations

Fenn requests that all applicants for grades 4 and 5 submit the following via our admissions portal:

• Online evaluation forms completed by your son's current homeroom teacher as well as a school administrator.
  
  

• School transcripts from the past three years.
  
  

• Fall term report card from the current year submitted by February 15.
  
  

• A personal recommendation from a trusted adult in your son's life (e.g. a coach, music teacher, camp counselor, etc.).
  
  

5) Attend a group visit

All students applying to Grades 4 and 5 are required to attend a group visit, which will include a brief academic assessment as well as a few fun activities administered by Fenn faculty and staff.

Note: candidates applying after the January 31 priority application deadline are required to submit scores from the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE). Please contact our team to learn about available test dates and options.

6) Explore your financial options

Over 20% of Fenn families participate in our Financial Aid program, and every year we issue need-based awards that cover between 3%-100% of the cost of tuition. We would welcome the opportunity to have a conversation about how to make Fenn an affordable option for your family. Read more about our Flexible Tuition/Financial Aid program here.
