We are pleased that you are considering a Sandy Spring Friends School education for your child.
Our application process will allow you to become familiar with our school, while we have the opportunity to get to know you and your child and help you determine whether SSFS is the right school for your family.
The application deadline for the 2023-24 academic year was January 15, 2023 for priority consideration. Should space remain available in any grade, we will continue with rolling admissions until a class is full.
We are still accepting applications for preschool 3, preschool 4, kindergarten, and grades 6-12. Applications received for grades 1-5 will be placed on a waitlist.
The 2024-25 admission application will be available online in early September.
