The application process VES enrolls a well-qualified, diverse group of students in grades 9, 10, 11, and, in some cases, grade 12. The application process is designed to present an overview of the whole student. While past academic and extracurricular achievement is important, the school also measures a student's willingness to participate fully in its programs. The Admission Committee reviews transcripts of previous academic work, teacher and school recommendations, a questionnaire completed by the applicant, and Secondary School Admissions Test results (other testing may be acceptable during summer admissions). In addition, candidates and their parents are required to visit the campus for personal interviews and a campus tour. Application decisions The Admission Committee begins reviewing completed applications in February. During the spring and summer, completed applications are considered on a rolling admission basis. The Admissions Office is open Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Financial aid More than 20 percent of our current students receive over $600,000 in need-based financial aid. VES is committed to enabling qualified students to attend the school, regardless of their families' ability to pay full tuition | |
