Admissions

Welcome to Admissions at Roycemore!

Hi, I’m Amanda Avery, Roycemore School’s Director of Admissions

Just as every student at Roycemore is treated as an individual, we understand that every path to enrollment is as unique as the family undertaking the process. Recognizing this, I feel it’s important to approach Admissions with enthusiasm and empathy. I hope you will feel comfortable to ask me questions at any step along the way.

Applications for 2020/21 admission are now available. For priority admissions consideration, applications should be submitted by January 31st. I encourage you and your family to schedule a campus tour in order to become more familiar with the school. I set aside a large part of my schedule for individual appointments and tours, but also encourage families to consider attending an admissions event in order to speak with current Roycemore faculty, parents, and students. For a full listing of admissions events, please click here. I look forward to hearing from you, soon!

Why Roycemore?

Parents and students choose Roycemore School for their children because of outstanding college-preparatory academic programs, unrestricted access for all students to a variety of extracurricular activities, and the individualized focus on fostering the potential of each student. What they find when they arrive, is a second family, a caring environment and a village of people whose mission is their child’s personal success. Roycemore’s community is small by design, yet it is very diverse and unique with a focus on individuals discovering their strengths.

With premiere access to Northwestern University, partnerships with Adobe Corporation and a world-class faculty, Roycemore students have the ability to become the next generation of leaders. By the time they reach high school and particularly when they move on to college, our students have learned to advocate for themselves, set goals and seek answers to the questions they discover along the way, while connecting with a strong network of experts in the topics they are passionate about.

The Application Process

Gather Necessary Documents

All forms needed, such as test scores, can be found here. Make sure to submit a copy of the applicants’ birth certificate. If applicable, also submit any special educational or psychological evaluations completed within the last three years.

Review The Submission
