Please submit your application, optional photo, and child’s work sample by November 16, 2026, and keep a copy for your files. We would very much appreciate an authentic piece of work by your child. It could be a self portrait, a poem, a writing sample, or a photograph of your child in action pursuing his passions and interests. The work sample should be an image or text document. Please note that we are not able to accept videos; our file formatting will not support any videos.

Please request your current school to fill out the Collegiate Confidential Report Form For Kindergarten and have them submit it directly to our Admissions Office by January 4, 2027. Schools may also submit the ISAAGNY Confidential School Report if they prefer. The School Report must be received, directly from your child's school, no later than January 4, 2027, in order for your application to be complete.

We encourage you to submit an application and schedule your required visits at your earliest convenience.

In-Person Kindergarten Applicant Visit: Applicants are observed and assessed in a small group format by Lower School teachers and members of the Admissions team. On-site child visits with fun, child-friendly activities are scheduled at 3:30 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. While you wait for your child, parents/guardians will have the opportunity to “learn” with a teacher and have a hands-on experience of what it is like to be in Kindergarten at Collegiate! Both parents/guardians are not required to attend.

Virtual Parent/Guardian Interview: You will meet with a member of the Admissions or Administration teams via Zoom. The interview is a wonderful opportunity for us to learn more about your child and family. Please come prepared to ask any questions about Collegiate and have a 30 minute virtual conversation about your interest in Collegiate and your hopes and dreams for your child's educational journey. 

Please note: We encourage you to submit an application at your earliest convenience. While applications will be accepted until the November 16 deadline, the required appointments for in-person applicant visits and virtual parent interviews may be subject to an appointment waitlist after available slots have been filled.

Optional in-person Parent Tours: Parents/guardians who have submitted applications are invited to join us for an optional group tour. This is a facility tour, conducted by current parents and students that will provide you with an opportunity to see how a boy grows up in a K–12 school, under one roof. Please allow approximately one hour for your visit. Or you may enjoy a virtual tour here.

Please check on your application status to confirm that your requirements are complete. Only applicants with complete files will be considered for admission. We notify families of the admission decision in early February.
