Grade 1 through Grade 8

The applicant's current grade level and achievement, as well as date of birth, are used to determine grade placement.

We adhere to the October 1 cutoff date unless there is significant evidence or reason to consider otherwise. We do so because appropriate social/emotional placement is more likely within set chronological limits. Appropriate social placement supports a student's confidence in taking the necessary risks involved in learning. At all grade levels, Far Hills Country Day School challenges students to achieve their greatest potential.

Far Hills Country Day School accepts applications on a rolling basis.

Far Hills Country Day School does not currently offer transportation to and from school. However, in New Jersey, when children do not attend their local public school, many school districts will partially reimburse their transportation costs. The reimbursement is approximately $1,000 per child for aid in lieu of transportation. In order to qualify, if your child is in Kindergarten through Grade 8, you must live at least 2.0 miles, but no farther than 20 miles, from Far Hills Country Day School.

To apply for reimbursement, request a B6T form from your township.
