Policies
Convent of the Sacred Heart adheres to the notification deadlines, parent reply dates and principles of good practice established by the Independent Schools Admissions Association of Greater New York (ISAAGNY.org)
Convent of the Sacred Heart admits students of any race, religion, color, sexual orientation, or national or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, sexual orientation, or national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
Legacy/Sibling Early Decision
Siblings of current students and the daughters of Convent of the Sacred Heart alumnae qualify as legacy applicants. Legacy applicants have the opportunity to receive early notification of their Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten decision. These options are discussed during the meeting between the applicant family and the admissions department. While legacy applicants do receive special consideration, their acceptance is not guaranteed and they must proceed through all phases of the admissions process. However, they do have the right to decline a tour if they feel it is not necessary. The notification and reply dates for legacy applicants are listed below. Decisions on financial aid awards are made at the same time as early notification.
