    Marianapolis Prep School

    Thompson, CT

    Marianapolis Prep School in Thompson, Connecticut, has a unique admission process. Once an application for admission has been completed, the admissions committee will go through your file. The file review process will take varying times and a notification will be sent with their decision on February for day students and March for residential students. All applications received past mid-January will be reviewed using a different basis. The admission committee realizes every individual is different and takes time to evaluate each application in detail. We strongly evaluate teacher recommendations, exam scoring (test) and academic record of an applicant. They also take into consideration that students are not defined from a test or grade and therefore look at all student's profile with their extra-curricular and interview information. The goal at Marianapolis is to develop students who have strongly vested interests in their academics, and also their wish to be contributing members of the school…
