Admissions

Admissions
Step 1. Application: Families submit the application form via the applicant portal, pay the non-refundable application fee, and submit the required supporting documents. They upload three years of transcripts and the current year through the applicant portal, and request two recent teacher recommendations from their current school. Grade placement is determined by the School using the student's date of birth, grade-appropriate social preparedness, academic history, and results of the admissions assessments.

Step 2. Interaction: Connection Call is an optional 20-minute private video meeting with the Admissions Team, including the Director of Admissions, arranged online through the applicant portal. A Campus Tour is offered through virtual and on-campus events; on the Harrow Test day a campus tour is included. For overseas or long-distance applicants who cannot travel to New York, the admissions assessment and interviews may be conducted remotely via video conferencing.

Step 3. Review & Decision: The Admissions Committee and the Principal review the applicant's assessments, school records, interview results, proper grade placement, and residency status to make the admissions decision. Once all requirements are fulfilled, families are notified of the decision typically within two weeks of completing the file, and admissions decisions are made on a rolling basis. All lessons and examinations are conducted in English, with exceptions for modern and classical languages; for non-native English speakers, evidence of English language ability is required, with potential support through English as an Additional Language (EAL) if needed.

Step 4. Rolling Admissions: Applications are being accepted for Grades 6-10 for the 2026-2027 academic year and for Grades 6-9 for the 2025-2026 founding year; Grades 11-12 will open in subsequent years. The school operates on a rolling admissions basis and encourages prompt applications due to limited spaces.

Step 5. Financial Aid: If applying for financial aid, submit all PFS (Parent Financial Statement) forms via the School's financial aid platform; there is a $60 financial aid application fee. The Financial Aid Committee reviews materials promptly, with aid decisions based on demonstrated need and the availability of funds. Financial aid is need-based and awarded in relation to need and funds; most aid is allocated early, and any rolling admissions awards are made on a first-come, first-served basis with remaining funds.

Scholarships
Pioneer's Scholarship: A two-year award recognizing families joining Harrow New York in its formative years. Open to all new day and boarding students entering Grades 6-10 in September 2026. Value: $15,000 reduction in base annual tuition per year for two consecutive academic years (total award $30,000). Automatic Award: Automatically applied upon acceptance and enrollment—no separate application is required, and the scholarship is reflected as a Pioneer's Scholarship credit on the tuition invoice. Renewal Terms: Renewable for the second year (2027-2028) provided the student remains in good academic and disciplinary standing. Financial Aid Note: The Pioneer's Scholarship does not disqualify eligible families from applying for or receiving additional need-based financial aid; financial aid is limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Enrollment Cut-off: This scholarship is limited to students who enroll for the 2026-2027 school year. Most families joining in Fall 2026 may also pursue need-based aid, with awards determined by need and funds available.

In addition to the Pioneer Scholarship, financial aid for need-based support is offered. Financial aid is awarded based on need and availability of funds, with most aid allocated early in the process; any additional awards for rolling admissions follow a first-come, first-served basis.
