Our online application is the only paperwork you have to complete! Simply follow the instructions at the link.
Additionally, each applicant & parent gets a one-on-one interview with our Admissions Director and with our Head of School, to make sure the Nora School can fit your needs.
A school visit allows your student to sit in on some classes and get their individual “feel” of the school.
Find Out What We’re About!
If you’d like to learn about your options, we host monthly Open House Information Sessions. We also make ourselves available for an initial parent conference - either online or initial phone conversations.
School officials and professionals are welcome to attend our Open Houses or contact Admissions to make a separate visit.

TUITION
Tuition at The Nora School is all-inclusive and covers the costs of all books and supplies – including a new Chromebook to all incoming students – field trips, art and lab supplies, and our Social Justice Journeys. A one-time Senior Fee ($1000) covers one-on-one college counseling, transcript preparation and processing, a senior retreat and graduation exercises) and some optional trips (e.g., the annual ski trip).

ADJUSTED TUITION
Adjusted tuition is available for families. The Nora School aims to be an inclusive learning community, and welcomes families of all backgrounds, resources and income levels. Adjusted Tuition is based on individual circumstances, and is available for admitted students whose parents complete an application. (In the case of divorce or separated parents, we require information from both households.) Typically, we make such adjustments for about one-quarter to one-third of our families until our allotment is met.
