✔ Student Work Samples (required)

Since we are unable to host student applicants on campus at this time, it would be helpful for us to get a sense of some of the academic school work your child has been doing this spring. Download the student work sample sheet here.

Families intending to apply for financial aid from Chewonki should fill out a Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) at sssbynais.org/parents. The non-refundable fee is approximately $52 for the application and you will receive a confirmation email directly after your submission.

The priority deadline for the 2022-23 school year is January 31, 2022. All applications received by that date will be reviewed together. If there are spots remaining after the initial admissions deadline, applications will then be considered on a rolling basis. If your application was submitted by the January 31 deadline, you will receive an admissions decision by March 1. If you are being considered on a rolling basis, you will receive an admissions decision approximately 2 weeks after submitting your completed application.
