| Acceptance criteria: | "Using the foregoing criteria, the admissions committee makes one of three decisions: (1) immediate acceptance, (2) wait pool, or (3) denial. Among qualified candidates, The Latin School gives preference for admissions to qualified applicants who are siblings of current students or who are children of alumni or faculty, provided the family has been a supportive member of the school community. The typical entry points to the school are junior kindergarten, grade six, and grade nine. The availability of space in any given year in other grades is less certain, as it is tied to attrition of current students." -taken from school website |
