Yes! If our class is full, waitlist spots are offered. Families of waitlist candidates will be notified as spaces become available and are not required to submit a deposit to remain on the waitlist.
We have limited spots available and consider applications for rolling admissions on a space-available basis. Contact [email protected] to inquire about your class’s availability. If the class is full, we invite you to apply to join our waitlist for 2024-2025.
Admissions decisions are based on a holistic review of each applicant. One of the factors we take into consideration is having siblings of current and past Gillispie families, as well as children of alumni and/or school employees.
Each year, we award around $600-650k in financial assistance for qualifying families. We also offer a monthly payment plan option. Check out our tuition and financial assistance page for more information!
