HOW TO APPLY

Thank you for your interest in Friends Seminary. We’re excited to share the Friends experience with you and to welcome you on campus!

Kindergarten and Grade 9 are our key entry grades while Grades 1-8 and 10-12 are dependent on attrition. No fee is required for attrition grades until the application is activated.  Please call the Admissions Office at 646.979.5041 for the waiver code. Fee Waivers will still apply for families of students in placement programs who demonstrate financial need.

Given our mission-driven commitment to support an economically diverse student body, Friends has dedicated significant financial resources to make Friends affordable for all interested families. To learn more about Affordability and Financial Aid at Friends, please click here.
