Process and Timeline
Pembroke Hill seeks to enroll academically qualified students from all segments of the community, regardless of socio-economic, racial, religious or geographic backgrounds. We look for intellectually curious students who will contribute to our academic and extracurricular programs and who will benefit from a Pembroke Hill education. Our goal is to build a community that nourishes all of our students both intellectually and emotionally.
When reviewing applications, the admissions committee will consider: academic ability; academic performance; character; interests, talents and extracurricular activities; family support of an applicant’s educational requirements; and the ability of the school to serve the needs of the applicant.
