Admissions

The Miami Valley School's admissions process involves four steps: submitting an application form and parent questionnaire, providing supporting documents (recommendations, school records, applicant statement), a student visit or virtual chat, and finally, the admissions decision. Decisions are issued by the end of March for files completed by early March, with early decisions for fall/winter applicants.

Apply by

February 1 for priority consideration. Applications are accepted after February 1, and students continue to be admitted into grades with space remaining throughout the spring, summer, and during the school year. Flexible tuition applications for prospective families should be submitted within two weeks after submitting the admissions application or by February 1, whichever is later.
