Middle School Admissions
Welcome Middle School Applicants!
The best way to begin the admissions process is by telling us a little bit about your family. Complete an Inquiry Form to share more about your applicant and register for an Inside SCH event.
At SCH, Middle School spans grades 5–8 for boys and girls. Students benefit from our unique single-sex academic approach while also enjoying coed opportunities in extracurriculars to prepare them for the collaborative, coed environment of Upper School and life after SCH.
Our Middle School is designed to spark curiosity, independence, and resilience. Students are encouraged to think big, take risks, and learn from setbacks as they develop into confident problem-solvers.
Need assistance with the step-by-step process for applying to grades 5–8? Our admissions team is here to help: 215-247-7007 | admissions@sch.org.
