Applications for spring 2026 are now open.
To begin the application process, please complete the Application Request Form to receive detailed instructions for how to submit your application.
There are two parts to the application process:
For students: We will send a quiz for the applicant to complete.
The quiz is 12 problems related to algebra and logic.
It may take multiple hours or days to complete.
The applicant may not receive any help with this, and must not use the internet.
The applicant should fully write up their solutions, including their answers and all of the work that went into those answers.
For parents: We will send a parent application form for a parent/guardian to complete.
The form asks for your contact information and basic information about the applicant's background.
The form also includes a couple of short-answer questions to help us get to know you and your child.
The application deadline is Tuesday, March 17th. Decisions will be released by March 20th.
