Thank you for your interest in The Imago School!
Should you decide that you would like your child(ren) to be considered for admission, the following steps are required:
1. Schedule a Visit and Tour of The Imago School
Our headmistress, Mrs. Diana McKee, will be delighted to take you on a tour of the school. This visit would allow you to learn more about our philosophy of education, have a glimpse into life at Imago, and to see our teachers and students at work in the classrooms. It also gives you the opportunity to ask questions in person. During this visit we will kindly ask you to fill out the Visitor Registration Form.
2. Fill Out the Admission Application Form
Once the initial school visit and tour is complete, the next step is to fill out our New Admission Application Form that we have included in your visitor packet. Please fill out the application form and return it to the school office (1 Percival Street, Maynard, MA 01754) along with the non-refundable application fee ($125 for each child).
In case your child would be transferring to Imago from another school, upon receipt of your application, a Record Release Form will be sent to you, granting us your permission to review your child’s school records. Please send this form to your child’s school office. This form is not to be interpreted as a withdrawal of your child from that school. It is important that we be able to evaluate their progress to date.
3. Entrance Test
For all students who are applying to the Imago School an entrance test will be scheduled. Students in the lowest grades are primarily evaluated for developmental maturity. Applicants in Grade 2 and up will be tested in language arts and math. The test will take place as soon as possible, if you wish to enroll your child in the current school year. Otherwise testing will be scheduled for the spring for students wanting to enroll in the next school year.
4. Parent Interview
An interview with both parents will conclude the admission process to determine the compatibility of our educational aims and methods with the intentions and desires of the individual home.
The Imago School accepts applications year-round, and new students are welcome throughout the school year provided that the grade of the prospective student has room for additions. All admission decisions are determined by the Imago Board of Directors.
Please contact our Director of Admissions, Mrs. Marta Burbeck, at m.burbeck@imagoschool.org if you would like to schedule a private tour by filling out the below contact form or call our office at 978-897-0549. Our regular tours are scheduled for Mondays and Thursdays at 9:30 AM and they typically take an hour. We hold a few Open Houses in the spring, with times usually during the week while class is in session, in the evening, and on the weekend. Upcoming Open Houses will be posted on our website under “Visit Imago”.
You are encouraged to review our Statement of Faith and the handbook.
