Early Admissions applications must be received by Friday, December 12th, 2025. If you are sure OFNS is your family’s first choice, we highly recommend applying for Early Admissions since this will give your family the best chance of securing a spot.

Selection Process
Children born in calendar years 2022 and 2023 are eligible to apply for our 2026/2027 class. Admissions decisions are determined by a modified lottery system. We seek to maximize diversity (including racial, economic and family-structure diversity) and to balance our class in terms of gender and age.
We give enrollment-priority to siblings of currently enrolled students or alumni. In order to receive enrollment-priority, alumni families must apply for Early Admissions.
