Applying to Fay School - Grades 7-9

To get started with the application process, please review the Upper School Applicant Checklist. Then complete Fay's application or one of the common applications below. (Click here to download a PDF of the checklist.) Please note that you must submit the Family and Student Profile piece of the application (or the equivalent initial piece of the application) before scheduling an interview.

Day Students

We are currently accepting day student applications for Fall 2025. Applicants who apply before January 15 will receive notification of admission decisions by March 10, 2025. After January 15, applications will still be accepted on a rolling basis for grades where space is available.

Day students are required to live with a parent within about 50 miles of Fay School, therefore our application process is designed for families who live locally. Please note that there are required, in-person components to our application process.

It is not our practice to issue I-20 forms to day students, so those who are not US citizens will be asked to provide information about their visa status.

Day student families will be asked to provide a local address before an admission decision is sent. If you are planning to move from outside the immediate area, please feel free to contact us for more information and instructions. 

Boarding Students

Boarding applicants are considered on a rolling basis. International applicants who would like to be considered in the first, priority round of decisions should complete their applications by December 15, 2024. After that date, international boarding student applications will be considered on a rolling basis dependent on space availability.

All applicants from mainland China, please click here for more information about the admission process.

We are here to help you with the Upper School admissions process! If you have any questions, please contact us at 508-490-8201 or admission@fayschool.org.
