Admissions Process
Schedule a Tour
Schedule an appointment to tour the Oakhill Day School campus. During your tour, you will have a chance to observe student life, see our facilities, and learn about our outstanding curriculum.
Please contact Dorothy Beckham, Director of Admissions and Financial Assistance, at 816.436.6228 or email when you are ready to schedule your tour.
Complete Online Application
The next step is to fill out the online Admissions application.
*For students already attending an early childhood program or are entering Grades 1 through Grade 12, please submit a copy of your student's school records and two letters of recommendation.
**Applications are considered once the $50 non-refundable application fee is received. The application fee for PRIME is $100.
Schedule a Student Visit
The Admissions Director will contact you to schedule a student visit day once the application has been submitted.
As part of the admissions process, new students are required to visit Oakhill Day School and spend time with our students and teachers. During the Student Visit Day, Prekindergarten through Twelfth Grade will complete an assessment exam. The age of the applicant will determine the length of their visit and all visits for Preschool through Eighth grade will be held during at least one day during the school day. A second visit day is available upon request.
Pretoddler and Toddler applicants will participate in an after-school group student visit with teachers and parents.
Admissions Committee Review
The Admissions Committee will meet to decide on an enrollment decision. Once the application is accepted, Oakhill will notify the prospective family and provide information on the final step to complete enrollment.
* Student records should be submitted for students that have previously attended an educational program in order for application to be processed.
** Letters of recommendation are kept completely confidential and the teacher writing the letter should mail them directly to Oakhill Day School. Letters of recommendation are required for students applying for First through Twelfth Grade and may be required for younger students.
