the tours most days
of the week,
preferably in the
morning. The
deadline for
applications is
January 15 but it is
helpful to have
applications
submitted prior to
that date.
We schedule
visits for
applicants in
January and February
and notify parents
of admissions
decisions on March

We will hold two
open houses in the
fall tentatively on
the following dates:
Thursday, October

Sunday, November 2,
2008
2-4 pm
These events are
opportunities for
interested parents
to meet faculty
members and
administrators and
see the classrooms
but does not take
the place of the
more extensive tours
given during the
school day.

Charles
River School is a school where individual
differences are respected. We actively seek
children who are ready for the challenges
of interdisciplinary and collaborative learning,
divergent thinking, and academic risk-taking,
who will contribute to the community, and
who will maintain a diversity of backgrounds
and strengths in our student body. As we
articulate in our Statement of Philosophy,
"An excellent education must instill in
children an understanding of and appreciation
for our diverse world. Charles River School
is committed to providing an environment
and an education that encourages children
to respect all people, to consider historical
and contemporary issues from many perspectives,
and to become informed, active members of
society."
We encourage inquiries from families who
represent diversity in all its aspects:
ethnic, religious, socio-economic, racial,
family structure, and geography.
Students enter Charles River School at all
grades from pre-kindergarten (4-year-olds)
through seventh grade. We do not accept
applications for eighth grade.
Financial
Aid is available and is based solely
on need. Applications are held in confidence
and should be submitted by February 1, 2008.

Admissions (508-785-8213; mearley@charlesriverschool.org)
