Admissions

Thank you for your interest in Hudson Valley Sudbury School!

Before you begin the enrollment process, we encourage you to learn as much as possible about our unique educational philosophy.  This website offers many excellent videos, blogs, articles, and testimonials for you to explore.  You might also like to attend one of the Open Houses we host every few months – a valuable opportunity to see the school and speak with staff, students, alumni, and parents. 

Hudson Valley Sudbury School has open admissions, accepting all applicants who have the capacity to fully participate in the school’s program as self-directed, autonomous members of the school community.  The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, ancestry, religion or religious creed, sex or gender, gender identity and/or expression, or sexual orientation.

Enrollment Process:  

Step 1. Interview

Schedule an interview by submitting an Interview Request Form and the $35 fee.  Once we receive your form and payment, we will contact you to schedule the interview.  The interview is an opportunity for you to ask questions and for us to provide an in-depth description of the educational philosophy and practices of the school. We ask all parents or guardians to attend the interview along with the prospective student/s. 

Step 2. Visiting Week

Once the interview is complete, your family may choose to proceed with the enrollment process by scheduling a Visiting Week.  You may schedule a Visiting Week by submitting the Visiting Week Packet and the $160 fee.  The Visiting Week offers the prospective student a chance to experience the school first hand, and allows School Meeting to assess the student’s readiness to enroll.

Step 3.  Enroll

At the conclusion of the Visiting Week, families wishing to enroll must complete the Enrollment Packet and contact our Admissions. If an enrollment slot is available, the student may begin attending the school (on an agreed upon date) as soon as the tuition payment is received. If enrollment slots are not available, the family will be directed to review the Waiting List Policy.

Feel free to contact us with questions -- we are happy to provide any information we can to assist you in the admissions process.
