A child's earliest years are also the most developmentally formative ones, and the habits of mind established in elementary school can shape the trajectory of an academic and intellectual life.

Welcome to Campus School of Smith College. We are happy that you are interested in our school, as we believe Campus School is unique in its mission and philosophy, and a wonderful place for children. 

Applications are accepted beginning September 1. Priority consideration is given to applications received on or before March 1; applications received after March 1 are considered as they arrive and as openings are available.

The following steps are important parts of the admission process; they give both the school and parents valuable insights into the match between child and school and allow us to compare all applicants with the same criteria.

Tuition is set on an annual basis and approved by Smith College. Tuition fees cover approximately 91% of the school’s expenses; other funds are generated by our annual fund appeal and after school and summer programs.
