Admission Overview
The Winston School of Short Hills encourages applicant families to begin the admission process with two goals in mind. First, we begin the process together by exploring whether the Winston program fulfills and matches a child’s needs. Second, we initiate the Winston partnership between family and school. This partnership ensures success for students who desire a meaningful and compelling school experience. Please know that Winston’s Office of Admission is here to help introduce you to our wonderful school and guide you through the admission process when you are ready. Applications are reviewed holistically once they are completed on a rolling basis. Students who are accepted can enroll throughout the school year as long as there is available space.
