Our Admission Process

You can apply online, or print and mail an application to the school. The $75 application fee may be paid online with a credit card or you may send a check with your application payable to Green Acres School. 

Once we receive your application and fee, we will reach out you to schedule a parent interview.

For more information, please contact us.

The interview, which is for parents only, offers opportunities for you to ask additional questions about Green Acres and to share information about your child.

Typically, applicants to Pre-K and K participate in a group visit. Due to the COVID-19 health crisis, we are currently waiving student visits for Early Childhood applicants.

Please arrange to have your child’s complete current year and previous year's school records and two student recommendation forms (completed by your child's main teachers) sent directly to the Admission Office at admission@greenacres.org. (Email is preferred, but regular mail or fax is acceptable, as well.)

• Recommendation for Pre-K & K Applicants

We also accept recommendation forms from The Association of Independent Schools of Greater Washington (AISGW).

While students applying to Grades 1-4 visit for a full day with their current peer group, we recognize that this will not be possible while our campus is closed. In lieu of a visit, applicants to grades 2-4 will get to know one of our teachers via a video conversation, which will include a one-on-one assessment of your child's math, reading, and writing skills.

Once you submit an application, we will contact you to set up a date and time for this conversation.

• Applicants to 1st grade (up to age 6) are required to take the WPPSI-IV.
• Applicants to 2nd–4th grade (or those 6 and over) are required to take the WISC-V.
