Howard Highlights

Procedures

The Howard School Admissions Process:

1. Call The Howard School at 404-377-7436 to schedule a private
        or group tour. (See “Tour Schedule” on this website.)
 
2. Obtain an application following your tour.
 
3. Submit all required documents included in the application packet,
        including a fee of $130.00, to The Howard School Admissions Office.
 
4. The Enrollment Process Steps:
 
a. The Director of Admissions will read the completed file, and may call the professionals who know your child well, including psychologists, teachers, tutors, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, principals, etc.

b. Our Admissions Office will call the Parent/Guardian to schedule an informal student interview and/or a student classroom visit. Your child will tour the school and meet with principals/teachers if available.  You will be asked to complete a parent questionnaire during your child's visit.

c. The Admissions Office will share your child's file with other members of The Admissions Committee (Head of School, School Psychologist, Principal(s), Speech-Language Pathologist and Teacher). The committee will then determine whether The Howard School is the best school to meet your child's needs.

d. The Howard School Admissions Office will contact you, typically within 2-4 weeks, to offer placement or refer you to another school(s).
