Fee: All applications require a non-refundable $50 application fee. While applying online, you will be prompted to enter your credit card information.

Age Requirements: Baldwin students should be 4 years old by September 1 of the year they enter Pre-K and 5 years old by September 1 of the year they enter Kindergarten. 

Once your application has been received, we will reach out to invite you to campus for a student and parent visit.

Students entering Pre-K or Kindergarten will spend time with our Admissions Team and Early Childhood Educators. This visit allows your daughter to learn more about Baldwin's unique learning environment and picture herself as a Baldwin girl.

During the student visit, parents will be invited to meet with our Admissions Director in order to learn more about the School and share information about your daughter. In advance of your meeting we request that you submit a Family Pre-Visit Questionnaire so that we may better prepare for your visit. When complete, please send to the Baldwin Admissions Office.

To assist us in assessing the fit between your daughter's strengths and needs and Baldwin's program, children applying to Kindergarten are required to submit the results of the WPPSI-IV (Wechsler Pre-Primary Scale of Intelligence). This test is administered at a number of educational testing services. Submitting scores from a recent WPPSI-IV is optional for students applying to Pre-K.

Testing reports may be emailed to the Baldwin Admissions Office.

To ensure prompt consideration of your daughter's application, we encourage you to follow-up with your daughter's teacher to ensure the form has been submitted.
