FAQ

List of 14 frequently asked questions.

• Do you track attendance at admissions events and/or contact with the admissions office?

  No, Campbell Hall does not track visits to campus or contact with our admissions office. There are many opportunities for families to experience our school community throughout the admissions season. You are welcome to visit the school when you can. We also understand that children have busy lives and want to help minimize the number of days that students have to miss school or other activities. We love seeing you, however please do not feel like you must come to all events in order to show a demonstrated interest in the school.

• How will I know that my application is complete?

  Your application is complete once you have interviewed, completed testing, and all paperwork has been received. You will hear from us in early to mid-February if we see you are still missing paperwork. You are welcome to continue checking your online application portal to see the progress of your paperwork as items are processed by our office. Please note that the admissions office is not able to offer “real time” missing item information until after January 25, 2023.

• How many openings does Campbell Hall have in each grade?

  Our main entry points are Kindergarten, 7th grade and 9th grade, with a few additional students added in 6th grade. We typically admit 44-46 new students in Kindergarten and add approximately 10 new students in 6th grade, 60-65 new students in 7th grade, and 30-35 new students in 9th grade. We may also have a few openings at the other grade levels as well, based on attrition.

• Do you offer financial aid? Do you offer scholarships?

  All Campbell Hall financial aid is need-based. Socio-economic diversity is a core value at our school, so whether or not you need financial assistance, we want you to know that your child’s experience at Campbell Hall will include friends from the full spectrum of economic circumstances. Please refer to the Tuition + Financial Aid section for further details on our financial aid program.

• What is your sibling and legacy admissions policy?

  Priority consideration is extended to siblings, children of faculty, and legacy applicants applying to Kindergarten and 7th grade, providing that:
  

  1. The applicant’s record is comparable to that of the other applicants we are accepting to the grade.
  2. The family has a history of participation in the annual fund and has been supportive of Campbell Hall’s mission, policies, administration, and faculty.

  While strong consideration is also extended to siblings, children of faculty, and legacy applicants applying to 9th grade and interim grade levels, with the same provisions, our ability to prioritize these applicants is restricted due to the limited number of available openings.
