  We offer a number of ways to get to know us: Virtual Information Sessions, an Open House, and in-person tours. We recommend at least one in-person visit during the application process.
  You can sign up for a live Virtual Information Session with Admissions.
  In-person tours are available in your parent portal once you create your account via this Inquiry.

• Submit an Application | Dec. 1 deadline

  Applications for the 2023-24 school year are available. Fill out this Inquiry to create your account. You will then have access to your admissions checklist to help you keep track of steps in the process and due dates, and you can sign up for in-person tours.

• Sliding Scale Tuition Application | Dec. 1 deadline

  MCS does not have a financial aid program, rather, we operate on a sliding scale tuition model. 

• Child Assessment - in-person | Oct. - Jan.

  The child assessment is a way for us to engage with your child, get to know them, and assess their skills.  The session will involve some math and reading comprehension exercises, as well as a short tour and conversation.
  Once you have submitted your application you will have access to a self-scheduling platform to reserve your child's visit date. Assessments will run from October to December and appointments are limited so we strongly recommend you submit your application early and reserve your assessment slot. We will not be able to add additional appointments later.

• Parent Interview | Jan. 31 deadline

  Once you have submitted your application you can schedule a parent conversation. This is an opportunity to informally engage with members of the Manhattan Country School administration and tell us about your family as well as ask questions that are particular to your child.

• Submit School Reports | January 11 deadline

  We require official school reports from the current and previous academic year, due no later than January 11, 2024. You can upload the reports directly on your admissions checklist in your parent portal.

• Teacher Confidential Report | January 11 deadline

  Please request that your child’s current teacher fill out the Teacher Confidential Report. You can send the request to your child’s teacher via the checklist in your admissions portal. We recommend that you submit the request after November 15 so that your child’s teacher has had an opportunity to get to know them.
  Teacher Confidentials must be submitted directly by the teacher and are due back to MCS by January 11 at the latest.
