    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.

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…
