We want to share with you information about Greene Street and answer any questions you may have.When will I know if my child has been admitted?
You should aim to complete the admission process by mid-January. The admission committee gathers in late-January to make decisions, and families are notified soon after. Applicants received or completed in February and beyond are considered if spaces are still available.When should I apply for financial aid?
You should apply for financial aid at the same time you are going through the admission process. If you have completed the financial aid process, you may be notified of a grant at the same time as your admission decision.
