The Admissions Process

Merritt Academy employs a rolling admissions process, meaning that new students are enrolled as space becomes available.  There is no application deadline, however, the majority of new students will register in February each year to start the following August. Merritt Academy's enrollment process is outlined below:

 

  • Tour by Appointment - Customized to your individual needs. Please contact Amy Pernick, Director of Admissions at 703-539-8394 or at AmyP@MerrittAcademy.org.
  •  

  • Application- By submitting a completed application, along with the $50 application fee and proof of identity (birth certificate, passport, etc), your student will be placed on the waiting list for their appropriate age group. 
  •  

  • Child Assessment and School Visit (for students entering grades K-8) - Prospective students attend class and meet with the School Counselor for an interview and assessment.
