Interviews will take place from October and will be scheduled directly through the Admissions Office.

The final step in the admissions process is a 30-minute Gesell developmental readiness assessment. Developed by Yale, this interactive assessment is designed to observe your child’s natural behaviors and skills in a relaxed setting—there are no right or wrong answers. It helps us understand how your child learns and grows as they prepare for school. The assessment will take place in February, and the Admissions Office will contact you to arrange a convenient date and time.

Our goal is to make the application process as smooth and approachable as possible. Throughout the year, we offer several opportunities for you to get to know Laurel Hall, so you can feel confident and well-informed when it’s time to make your decision in March.
