Admissions Overview 2025-2026
The Tenacre Admission process for enrollment for the 2026-2027 school year will begin in October 2025. All applicant families are required to conduct an interview (via Zoom or in person) with the Director of Enrollment before the application deadline of February 6, 2026. You may reach out to set up an individual interview by calling Elizabeth O'Connell at 781-591-7408 or emailing her at eoconnell@tenacrecds.org. Interviews for the 26-27 school year will begin in October 2025.
For students applying for grades PK and Kindergarten, we will host a group visit for all PK and Kindergarten applicants as well as a 30 minute individual visit. All PK and Kindergarten applicants should plan to attend a group visit and the individual visit. To schedule your group visit and individual visit please email or call Elizabeth O'Connell at eoconnell@tenacrecds.org. The Group Visit dates are January 21 from 1:00-2:00pm for PK, January 24 from 9:00-10:00am for PK and 10:45-11:45am for K, and January 28 from 1:00-2:00pm for K. Individual visits are scheduled for 30 minute blocks on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday morning from 8:30am - 11:00am.

A child applying for PK should have some prior formal school experience, but it is not required. A child applying to K must have a prior formal school experience, which is the equivalent of at least three days/week. Children applying to both PK and K must be toilet trained.
