A completed application includes: an online application, official grade reports, two academic teacher recommendations, applicant essay, and financial aid application, if applicable. Applications received after that deadline will be processed in a second round, beginning in mid-March or early April, depending on spaces available at that time. Please note: Current year grade reports and/or transcripts must be sent directly from the school. Previous year grade reports or transcripts may be sent from the school or uploaded by the parent.
Testing Information
Field does not require any standardized testing for admission, but families may submit tests such as the SSAT or ISEE through those testing organizations as a supporting document in the application process. However, if the applicant has a disability that the School would need to accommodate, please submit their most recent neuropsychological or psychoeducational evaluation as part of the application.
