List of 6 frequently asked questions.

  • 1. APPLY

    You may submit an application via our online portal. After 48 hours your application will be processed and you will be able to access all supplementary forms required to complete the application.

    The $100 application fee is waived for prospective students applying for financial aid.

    Our office will contact you to schedule your family's in-person or virtual visit to the high school campus after the online application has been processed (limited after the December 1, 2023 deadline).

  • 2. INTERVIEWS & TOURS

    After we have processed the online application, our office will be in touch with you to schedule your family's visit. Families have the option of getting to know Grace in-person or virtually. Please note that in-person interview spots are limited and will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Whether a family decides to interview in person or via Zoom will have zero impact on the applicant's ultimate admission decision.

    Additionally, we offer a series of in-person Open Houses where families will have the opportunity to meet administrators, faculty, and students to learn about the program. Please RSVP here.

  • 3. TRANSCRIPTS

    Submit a transcript request to the applicant's current school. Forms are available on the online applicant portal.

  • 4. RECOMMENDATIONS

    Submit two ISAAGNY teacher recommendations from the applicant's current math and English teachers through your online application portal. Schools should not send recommendations until November, at the earliest, to give faculty time to know your child.

  • 5. STANDARDIZED TESTING

    Grace requires standardized testing for the 2023-24 admissions cycle. We will accept ISEE and/or SSAT score reports sent to us directly from students' testing sites.
