How Admission Works
The admission process at Fairhill School is collaborative, involving students, parents, and our experienced admission team. Every step is designed to determine whether our specialized program aligns with your child’s learning profile and your family’s goals.
Campus Visit
Admission begins with a comprehensive campus visit. Families meet with admission counselors, observe classes, tour facilities, and learn about our specialized approach. Students experience our welcoming environment and can envision themselves as part of the Fairhill community.
Application and Documentation
Families submit an application along with previous school records, standardized test scores, psychological or educational evaluations, and other assessments that help us understand your child's learning profile. Our team provides guidance on required documentation and helps streamline the process.
Student Assessment
Our assessment team evaluates academic skills, learning differences, and social-emotional development in a supportive, low-pressure environment. This may include academic testing, learning difference evaluation, and interviews with students and families. The goal is to understand your child's complete profile so we can plan appropriate support.
Family and Student Interviews
We conduct interviews with both families and students to discuss educational goals, previous experiences, learning difference history, and expectations. Student interviews help our team understand each child's perspective and assess social-emotional readiness for our specialized program.
