 | It is just as important for a prospective family to become familiar with The John Cooper School as it is for the admission committee to become familiar with the academic and personal qualities of each applicant. The admission process is designed to enable prospective families and the School to determine whether an appropriate match exists between the two. First priority in admission is given to the most capable students. Other factors that may be considered include special talents or being the sibling of a current or former Cooper student.
The admission process is conducted independently of the need-based financial process. Admission decisions are made in the best interest of the School by the admission committee, which consists of the director of admission, division heads and faculty representatives. Candidates are evaluated on the basis of test results, academic records or developmental readiness, teacher recommendation(s) and interviews/observations. The head of school reviews and approves the final recommendations of the admission committee.
The John Cooper School recognizes the value of a diverse educational community and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, religion or national/ethnic background in the administration of its educational policies. The Application deadlines for the 2011-2012 school year are December 1, 2010 for Pre-K and Kindergarten, and January 21, 2011 for grades 1-12. Applications received after these dates are reviewed when the applicant's file is complete. Students are then admitted to Cooper as space becomes available.
