High Meadows’ emphasis on educational excellence and the uniqueness of each individual student is demonstrated in our personalized Admissions model and practices.
The ideal High Meadows candidate will possess the receptivity, interest, and ability to demonstrate creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving, as well as a passion for learning. We seek students from diverse socio-economic, ethnic, and national backgrounds who will benefit from the challenging academic program and who will contribute to the life of the school.
