Each fall Cistercian admits approximately 40 boys at the entry level, Form I (grade 5). These boys are accepted with the expectation that they will complete the full eight-year program. In addition a limited number of qualified candidates are admitted each year to Forms II-V (grades 6-9), and to Forms VI-VII (grades 10 and 11) only should openings become available.
In evaluating a candidate’s application file, the Admissions Committee considers the following factors: grade report from his previous school, courses taken, admission test scores, writing sample, teacher evaluation, and an informal interview. If it is applicable, the Committee will also consider an applicant’s relation to current Cistercian students or alumni.
Students admitted to Forms II and III (grades 6 and 7) will be expected to take summer courses in Latin in order to join their classmates in the study of Latin in the fall. Summer Programs run the first three to four weeks of June.
Applicants to Form V (grade 9) should have already completed Algebra I in or before their 8th grade year.
