Ours is a community founded on the belief that the work we do should matter. To ourselves, to the world. That’s why Stone students accelerate in math, that’s why they start for-profit businesses, that’s why they drive across the country to study English, that’s why they open pop-up restaurants, that’s why they planted 5000 trees, that’s why they do so well in the College Admissions process, that’s why our seniors feel so deeply connected to their school.

The Admissions Process At Stone
Step 1. Let Us Know You’re Interested!
Like most colleges and universities, we look for “demonstrated interested” from our applicants. If you are excited about Stone, please be sure to email us and let us know, please try to attend an Open House, and please sign up for our mailing list!
Step 2. Sign Up For a Shadow Day!
The best way to get to know Stone is to get to know Stone! Applicants interested in Upper School placement should schedule a full-day shadow on campus; Middle School applicants may choose between half day and a full day. You can read more about the shadow day experience here and you can sign up for a shadow day here!
Step 3. Complete Our Application!
Every two weeks, our Admissions Committee has the opportunity to review applications from students coming to us from Lancaster, Berks, York, Adams, Dauphin, and Montgomery counties — students who know that school can be so much more, students interested in our design-build-exhibit process, students who want to be challenged deeply, students who want to change the world. When you feel as though you really “get” Stone and you’re ready to work on our application, head right here to get started. Pay particular attention to our essay questions — they aren’t like “most” essay questions and we look at them carefully to consider fit — and remember that we can not consider any application without two years of transcripts.
Step 4. Schedule Interviews.
As part of the application process, we ask that all students interview with at least two members of the Stone community — typically one member of our Admissions Team (Director of User Experience JeAnna Durnell-Roman or Head of School Mike Simpson) and an academic Division Leader (Assistant Head of School Abby Kirchner, Dean of Students Alex Funnell or Dean of Middle School Jeff Pasternak-Post). The interviews are critical steps in the admissions process — we are looking for students who are excited to come to Stone, who can show evidence of curiosity, and who are ready to begin the work of their life.
