HOW TO APPLY
Now, more than ever, choosing the right educational partner is rising to the top of the list of what's important to families.
If you are seeking a partner that plays for the long game in students’ lives and will unleash in your child the kind of human potential they need to take on the complexities of the world, we invite you to apply for the 2023-24 school year.
To explore how your child can blaze a trail at Flint Hill, schedule a meeting or a campus tour with a member of our team to discuss admission and how we can partner together.
At this time, applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis where there is capacity. Priority is given to those who complete sooner.
