It's important to us that you feel informed about our admissions process. Below are some answers to questions we often receive from parents.

If you have any other questions, please call our Admissions Director at 603-924-6908 ext. 30 or email email@example.com. Is there a deadline for Admissions?

No. The Well has a rolling admissions policy, meaning you can apply at any time during the year and expect to receive a decision shortly after your application is complete and your child has visited the school.

Where do most Well School graduates go after they graduate?

About half of our students who graduate from 8th Grade go to private high schools and half attend local public high schools. You can view our high school and college matriculation list here.

Does The Well School offer financial aid or tuition assistance?

Yes. In keeping with its desire to attract and maintain a diverse student body, The Well School offers a need-based financial aid program, though funding is limited. The aid is intended to support families with children in Kindergarten through 8th Grade who otherwise would not be able to meet the cost of attending The Well. (Financial aid is not available for the preschool years.) Financial need is determined by the School and Student Service for Financial Aid of Princeton, New Jersey. Unfortunately, The Well School does not have the resources to award financial aid to all who qualify. Therefore, the overall strength of a candidate's application is used as a criterion for distributing aid. Financial aid awards are made to those candidates who have successfully met the criteria for admission. To receive information, please call our Admissions Director at 603-924-6908 ext. 19 or email email@example.com.

What grades does the well school offer?

The Well School serves students in preschool (ages 3-4) through Grade 8.

Is The Well for gifted students?

The Well is a school for all students. Each individual possesses gifts unique to them, and our opportunity as educators is to find that gift and nurture it. At The Well, students are given the tools to become life-long learners and pursue their interests as individuals. We view each student as a whole child and celebrate what they each bring to the community.

Does the well offer Special Education for students with learning disabilities?

The Well does not have a traditional Special Education structure. We accept students based on the overall strength of their application. If we feel during the admissions process that we can provide an outstanding educational opportunity for your child, we will admit him/her into our program. If  we discover challenges along the way, we have resources available to confront them.

is The Well a religious school?

We are not affiliated with any center of established religious traditions. Our central values include kindness, cooperation, respect for all life, love of nature, and the deep appreciation of one another as unique individuals.
