Admissions
Thank you for your interest in Spence!
Spence actively seeks students who 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 look forward to exploring the lifelong impact of a Spence education with you and your daughter.
In consideration of safety and in response to COVID-19, Spence will adhere to health guidelines and will not be hosting visitors in any of our buildings. Our admissions season next year will be virtual—parent and student interviews, assessments and events will be conducted via Zoom and utilizing video technology. To learn about our school, we encourage you to explore the entire website and to follow us on Instagram @thespenceschool. On the Events page of the Admissions section of the website, a list of our events will be posted along with dates, times and registration information as details become available.
Our admissions season for the 2021-2022 school year will launch after Labor Day. Submissions of online inquiries and applications can be done at that time. Scheduling information on virtual interviews will be available as the date approaches.
