Admission
The school accepts gifted students by means of an application process involving essays, an interview, visiting classes with a student host, and an IQ test. Qualitative Assessment, a method by which gifted children are evaluated by a trained individual, without the use of formal IQ tests, as developed by founder Annemarie Roeper, is also being explored by the school. Acceptance may be accompanied by financial aid. Although the school is never able to provide as many scholarships as it would like, it strives to honor its founders' intent that the school serve the needs of the gifted and not be a private school for only the affluent.

Famous quotes containing the word admission:
“The admission of the States of Wyoming and Idaho to the Union are events full of interest and congratulation, not only to the people of those States now happily endowed with a full participation in our privileges and responsibilities, but to all our people. Another belt of States stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“To be rich is to have a ticket of admission to the masterworks and chief men of each race. It is to have the sea, by voyaging; to visit the mountains, Niagara, the Nile, the desert, Rome, Paris, Constantinople: to see galleries, libraries, arsenals, manufactories.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness ... It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.”
