Shady Hill's Centennial
Look Inside
At Shady Hill, students are encouraged to be explorers, artists, writers, scientists, athletes, mathematicians, musicians, and, perhaps most importantly, thoughtful citizens of our school community and the world beyond. This is more than a school — it's a beginning. If Shady Hill is the right school for your child, there's no better place to start.

Apply
We invite you to learn about our admission process through the information in this section. Each year, our main entry points are Beginners (PreK), Kindergarten, Grade 3, and Grade 6, but we accept applications at every grade level.
Our application process is designed to introduce families to our school and community and to allow us to get to know them, as well. Our students come from a variety of family structures and backgrounds; the rich diversity of our community is a defining measure of who we are as a school.

Give
Support for Shady Hill — through annual giving, capital giving, and volunteering — helps to make us the school we are today. Alumni and friends, along with current and former Shady Hill parents, faculty, apprentices, and grandparents, generously support the school's fundraising initiatives each year. Events such as the Shady Hill Fair come to life each fall through the volunteer efforts of hundreds of parents and alumni. Once a parent-owned cooperative, that spirit of support and participation continues on in the life of the school.
