                                          We admit students year-round, consistent with our year-round calendar and our philosophy that gifted students thrive on a year-round schedule. Students qualify for admission based standardized cognitive and academic test scores and a school visit. To schedule a tour or request information, please call 415 491-4700 or email admissions@dunhamacademy.com.


                                          Current Year Admissions
                                          Qualified students are admitted as space is available.  Please call 415-491-4700 for up-to-date information.

                                          2012-2013 Admissions
                                          For families who know that they are seeking a September 2012 start date, we provide a timeline for tours, applications and admissions. Please keep in mind that, due to our intentionally small size, classes for next year can often be filled by students who matriculate before September 2012. If you believe Dunham Academy is the right fit for your child, you may wish to apply for earlier admission.
