Once you have filled out ourINQUIRY FORM through Veracross, you will be able to register for informational events. Be sure to fill out our INQUIRY FORM using an email address you will have access to throughout the admissions season, as this will be your primary email contact with our school. 

Fall Tour
We believe that witnessing our school in action is the only way to start to understand the phenomenal experience that our students have each and every day. These tours are for parents only. 

Meet & Learn
Our Meet & Learn evening gives parents a chance to hear directly from educators across divisions and to discover how our program nurtures intellectual curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning at every stage. The evening will end with a brief School Tour.

Fireside Chat
Fireside Chats are a collection of dynamic, insightful conversations designed to give prospective families a closer look at what makes Speyer unique. Hear directly from our alumni in the Speyer Alumni Panel, explore the benefits of our K-8 model in Why K-8?, and gain expert insight into gifted education in Is My Child Gifted?.

Please complete all required sections on our INQUIRY FORM. Once you’ve answered all questions, as well as uploaded a photograph of your child and paid our $100 application fee, you will be able to continue with further application steps.

Parent Perspective
The Parent Perspective is a series of questions meant to guide parents through a thoughtful portrait of their child.

Virtual Parent Conversation
Parent Conversations provide an opportunity for an applicant child’s parents to speak with a member of our Admissions team about their child and educational expectations. These virtual conversations are scheduled for 30 minutes on a day separate from your child's visit.

Student for a Day
Applicants to Grades 1–4 are required to participate in a student visit. During this visit, each student will be given an opportunity to spend time in classes with peers, followed by a Math and Literacy assessment. This is a drop-off visit.

Please email a graded writing sample from your student's current school year to admissions@speyerschool.org. If you do not have one, please do not worry, as we will have the students complete a writing assignment during their school visit.

Please download one of the forms below and share with your child’s current homeroom teacher via email. Once the teacher fills out the form, they will submit it to admissions@speyerschool.org. After we have received the form from the teacher, we will mark this step as complete. Please allow us time for processing.

— If you are applying to Grade 1, please download this form and share the PDF with your child’s current homeroom teacher via email.

— If you are applying to Grades 2-4, please download this form and share the PDF with your child’s current homeroom teacher via email.

By emailing this recommendation form to your child's teacher, you waive any right to access this recommendation and authorize the teacher to provide an evaluation and all relevant information to the school for purposes of your child’s application to the school.

For applicants to Grades 1–4, we welcome a whole host of external testing (i.e. SSAT, ISEE, Stanford Binet, WISC, SCAT, CTP, MAP Testing, state testing scores, etc.), as long as the testing took place no more than 12 months prior to your application date to Speyer.

We require the most recent report card from your child’s current school. 

We welcome additional relevant information that may help us more fully understand your child’s academic capacity. We are also happy to review any additional accomplishments or things you’d like us to know about your child.

The application deadline for regular admissions is December 5, 2025; all supplemental documents must be received by January 8, 2026.

Speyer offers an early decision option to applicants of currently enrolled students, as well as to children of school staff and faculty. 

If a family has more than one child, and each of those children is applying for entry to different grades, the family may receive notification for all applicants on the earliest notification date of the grades to which the children have applied. Reply dates will remain unchanged. 

Families who are eligible for early decision should contact the Admissions office in the summer, or early in September of the application year, and must follow all early decision deadlines. It is important that you follow the dates outlined below:

— November 14, 2025 - All early decision applications must be submitted by noon.

— November 26, 2025 - All other components of the applicant child’s file must be completed, including onsite visit, school records, teacher evaluations, test scores, and parent conversation.

— November 26, 2025 - If applying for financial aid, please complete your application in Clarity, along with all required documentation, by midnight.

— December 5, 2025 - Early decision notifications are sent out.

As a community-minded school, we appreciate the support and commitment that sibling families have to deepening their ties to Speyer. However, please be aware that all siblings, and other early decision candidates, are evaluated individually using the same criteria as regular applicant children to determine their fit within our educational environment.
