Marymount seeks to enroll students of academic promise with the potential to make positive contributions to the school. Our admissions process is highly personalized. We consider thoroughly the unique qualities of each applicant and endeavor to create a healthy, balanced school community. Marymount adheres to the notification deadlines, parent reply dates, and principles of good practice established by the Independent Schools Admissions Association of Greater New York.
Siblings of Marymount students and children of alumnae have the option of applying for an Early Notification at the nursery, pre-k, and kindergarten levels. Information about that option is mailed to sibling/legacy families upon receipt of their application. Legacies and siblings are given special consideration in the admissions process, but acceptance is not automatic. Decisions regarding financial aid awards to legacies and siblings are made at the same time as early notification.
Marymount admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the School. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
We look forward to meeting you! 
All qualified applicants are welcome to apply.
