• Visit Shore

  Explore our campus through an optional guided tour. During this hour-long visit, you will see our academic learning environments and leave with a deeper understanding of our community as a whole. Schedule your tour here.
  
  If you are unable to visit the school, we are happy to schedule a phone conversation where we can learn about your child and answer your questions about Shore. Please contact our office at admissions@shoreschool.org.

• Complete an Online Application

  The online application includes required student and family information and a $50 application fee. If the application fee presents a hardship for your family, please reach out to Amy Belanger, Assistant Director of Enrollment Management, for a waiver code. This portion of the application must be submitted before scheduling your child’s Applicant Visit Day.

• Schedule the Parent/Caregiver Interview

  Contact Admissions to schedule the parent/caregiver interview. The interview will last approximately 30 minutes.
  
  

  • For parents/caregivers of applicants for Grades 1-8, the interview will typically take place during the Applicant Visit Day.
  • Parents/caregiver of Pre-K 1, Pre-K 2, and Kindergarten applicants should contact the Admissions Office to schedule the interview.

  
  If it is difficult for the parent/caregiver(s) to attend an in-person interview, we are happy to schedule a virtual meeting.

• Request Information from Your Child’s School

  Shore requires a teacher recommendation and school progress report for students who attend school or daycare. If the child is applying to Kindergarten or an older grade, the applicant's school must submit this year’s progress report and last year’s final report card directly to Shore.
  
  The Student Evaluation Form is required to be submitted by the child’s current teacher. We recommend sending the form to the teacher no earlier than late November or December to give them a chance to get to know your child before completing the form. The AISNE Student Evaluation Form can be shared directly with your child’s teacher(s) from your MyShore Admission Checklist.

• Complete the Applicant Visit Day

  Applicants for Pre-K 1, Pre-K 2, and Kindergarten:
  Students applying to Pre-K 1, Pre-K 2, and Kindergarten will participate in an in-person visit with a small number of applicants applying to their same grade. During this fun and interactive visit, students will connect with teachers, participate in group activities, and spend a short period of time working one-on-one with a teacher. Visit Days take place in January. Late applicants will work with Admissions to find a suitable day for their child to visit Shore. Email Admissions once your application is submitted to register your child.
  
  

  Applicants to Grades 1-8:
  We look forward to welcoming your student to our campus for a half-day shadow visit. This visit will entail applicants being paired with a host and experiencing a portion of the day with their same-aged peers. During the visit, a teacher or admissions representative will administer a short assessment. Email admissions once the application is submitted to schedule your child’s visit day.
