Admissions and Inquiries
In order to be considered for admission to the Tome School, parents must submit a written application that is available from the school office. This application entails personal information, references, and authorization to release school records. Tome School has a limited number of openings each year, especially in the lower school, so early application is encouraged.
Because of its size and its distinctive educational program, Tome is not suited to all children. The school seeks to identify and enroll students in the above average range of academic aptitude. The admission procedure is initiated by an interview with the Head of School or other school official. Admission to kindergarten is based on application and student evaluation in the spring. Enrollment in grades 1-12, when spaces are available, requires individual testing in reading comprehension and mathematics skills and in general intellectual ability. To gain admission, a child must perform within the range of achievement in the Tome class for which he is applying. The achievement scores at Tome are above the national norms for standardized tests.
The Tome School welcomes applications from students of any race, color, creed and national origin. All students have equal access to all programs and activities.
