Important Information for Applicants

The Tenney School offers two flexible admissions options tailored to meet the needs of our families: Rolling Admissions and Next Year Admissions.

Rolling Admissions: This option allows students to join our school during the current academic year. Applications for Rolling Admissions are accepted year-round, providing families the opportunity to find the right fit at any time.

Next Year Admissions: Designed for families planning ahead, this process includes an application deadline. We encourage prospective families to review our important dates and begin the application process early.

To streamline the admissions experience, we utilize Blackbaud, a comprehensive platform for managing both applications and enrolled students. Once you create your Blackbaud account, you will receive a customized checklist based on your selected admissions type (current year or next year). This checklist will guide you through the required steps for enrollment.
