Creating an account in our Admissions Portal is the first step in the admissions process. You will complete your son's online application through the Admissions Portal, and a non-refundable $50 application fee is paid when his application is submitted.

Applications become available in mid August and are due by Wednesday, December 15, 2021. We encourage you to begin the application process early to have ample time to complete the necessary steps.

Once you create your Admissions Portal account, you will want to use this login page to gain access to a dynamic checklist. The portal checklist is an excellent tool to keep track of where you are in the admissions process.  

Application fee waivers are available for siblings of currently enrolled students and sons of alumni. Please contact Danielle Moran to obtain your code.

Please note: All Gilman students are required to have age-appropriate vaccinations. Only medical exemptions will be considered.

Applicants for grades pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, prep-one and first grade will come to Gilman twice for an individual morning assessment and then again for a group assessment.

For the individual assessment, your son will meet with a member of our admissions office beginning mid-November and a group assessment date on January 22, 2022. Assessment dates will be available after October 1st and a member of our team will be in touch with you to schedule your date and time

Applicants for grades two through five visit Gilman on Saturday, January 8, 2022. You will be prompted to register for this testing date when you complete the online application in the Admissions Portal. The boys are given standardized achievement and ability tests, are evaluated informally by teachers, and are asked to complete a writing sample.

Gilman offers tuition assistance to families based on need. Please note that Tuition Assistance is not available for Pre-Kindergarten.

To determine the level of assistance for which a family qualifies (if applicable), a completed School and Student Services (SSS) Parents' Financial Statement (PFS) must be submitted separate from the School admissions application. Access to SSS forms at SSS Online will become active on Wednesday, September 1, 2021 and must be completed by Wednesday, December 15, 2021, which is also the admissions application deadline.

Please upload or mail the following documents directly to SSS Online: 2020 Federal Tax Return and 2020 W‐2. Families should also add their 2021 W-2 when it is received later in January 2022. Visit SSS Online for more information.

SSS requires a non-refundable fee of $55. If you are unable to access this form online, please email Kip Digges in the Financial Aid Office at kdigges@gilman.edu to request a hard copy.
