Do siblings and legacies have preference in the admission decisions?
Yes and no. This is an issue that is extensively discussed by all independent schools. We realize that many parents and alumni have very positive feelings for our school and wish to have all of their children share the same educational experience. At the same time, children are individuals, and what is best for one child is not necessarily the same for another. Most important in our decision is whether a child would thrive in this learning environment. In general, we do give preference to a sibling or legacy over another child. But a sibling or legacy child will be offered a place only if the Committee is confident that he/she has the potential to succeed in this setting.
