First-year

Our admission process is intentionally personal and thoughtful. We look beyond transcripts and test scores to understand your story—your strengths, your interests, your voice, and your goals.

We are not just building a class. We are building a community of curious, compassionate, purpose-driven students who are ready to grow and ready to give. And that begins with you.
