ADMISSIONS

Families from across New York City and surrounding counties apply to Manhattan Country School. Most admissions take place when students are 4, 5, or 6 years old, and we encourage applicants to our upper school, grades 5 - 8.

We enroll a student body that has no racial or cultural majority. Our sliding-scale tuition system ensures that families of varied economic backgrounds pay an equivalent percentage of their total income to educate their children.

See below for all the details on applying. If you have any outstanding questions, feel free to contact Lois Gelernt, Director of Admissions, at .
