Admissions Overview

Welcome

Welcome to Spence! We are excited to share with you the wonder and possibilities of our school community: fueled by spirited girls and young women who pursue scholarship with a balance of rigor and joy and see their future as they develop confidence and agency.
Spence actively seeks bright, motivated students who also reflect racial, cultural, religious, and socioeconomic diversity. The School enrolls students in Grades K through 12 from all boroughs of New York City, as well as from parts of Westchester County, Connecticut and New Jersey. 

We encourage you to learn more about Spence by exploring our website and by following us on Instagram @thespenceschool.

We look forward to exploring the lifelong impact of a Spence education with you and your daughter.

Warmly,
Melissa Hong
Director of Admissions and Financial Aid
