Complete The Inquiry Form

Submit an Inquiry

1) FILL OUT THE INQUIRY FORM — We'd love to hear from you! Your completed inquiry form lets us know you're interested in Brooks. The information allows us to share more about the school and the admission process with you.

2) SET UP YOUR PORTAL — Once you have submitted the inquiry form, you'll receive an email that will prompt you to set up a Brooks School Admission Portal account. This account is where you can keep track of the status of your application, including our receipt of all current school records and teacher recommendations. This is also where you will be able to view your admission decision on March 10. 

Schedule a Tour & Interview

To set up an in-person tour and interview or a virtual interview, log into the Brooks School Admission Portal and use the self-scheduling feature in the application checklist. (Have not completed an inquiry form? Create your Brooks School Admission Portal Account here).

Submit Your Application

You may submit your application using either the Gateway to Prep Schools or The E3n's Standard Application (SAO).

• Your choice: Please choose the application platform with which you are most comfortable. We accept both applications and do not have a preference for one over the other. 
   
• Please note: You may submit your application materials as they become complete. There is no need to wait until all of the required materials have been completed to submit your application. This is especially important for applicants using the SAO (Standard Application Online) platform. In order for required and optional recommendations, and all school records, to be added to your application in your Brooks Admission Portal, you must first complete and submit the Student Biographic Profile and application fee. Submitting materials as they are completed also helps our office with the application workflow.
   
• The deadline: Applications are due by January 15, 2027. If your circumstances prevent you from applying within Brooks School’s application timeline, please reach out to admission@brooksschool.org.

Submit Standardized Testing Results

The results of a standardized test are a requirement for a completed application.

Candidates may submit the results of one of the following tests:

• Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT). 
• Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE). 

We also accept the following tests, primarily submitted by candidates for grades 10 and 11:

• Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT)
• Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)
• American College Test (ACT)

 Applicants who choose to submit the results of a PSAT, SAT or ACT test may email them directly to admission@brooksschool.org.

Admission decisions are based on a variety of factors, including recommendations from current teachers, transcripts, extracurricular interests and achievements.

Applying for Financial Aid

We believe in making our exceptional education accessible to qualified students through a robust financial aid program. 

If you believe you need financial assistance, indicate your interest in financial aid by checking the appropriate box on the inquiry form and application.

Brooks School awards more than $6 million in financial aid annually, but not all applicants can be funded. If an applicant qualifies for financial aid but both financial aid and a place at the school are not available, the applicant will be wait-listed. To be taken off the wait-list, both a place and financial aid must become available.

Tracking Your Status

You can track the progress of your application in your Brooks Admission Portal account. This is where you can check to make sure all of your application materials (especially school records and teacher recommendations) have been submitted by the January 15 deadline. This is where you will receive and review our admission decision:
