Thank you for your interest in The Geneva School of Manhattan. We are thrilled to join you on this journey to identify the right school for your child and your family. We believe each child is created in the image of God with enormous capacities for wonder, delight, and discovery. It is our joy to cultivate abundant growth in these areas for every student.
Applications for the 2025-2026 school year will be available on September 1.

As a New York independent school accredited by Middle States Association, Geneva School begins the application process one year in advance of the desired entry date. While we strongly encourage families to begin the application process early in the fall, we strive to accommodate families after this time, accepting late applications if space is available.

This is the best way to learn about our School. We look forward to connecting with you in this initial step.
