Admission

We inspire genuine effort: true effort ignites the courage to succeed.

We believe in kindness, honesty, and respect; we believe, AND every day we practice our School values in a multitude of scenarios. When we are aligned with our core values, we are prepared to bravely conquer hard things. At Rumsey, the revelation of achievement is our reward for genuine—from within—effort.

“One of the first things I noticed when I walked through campus was the professional atmosphere and the confidence that exudes from the faculty and staff. It's obvious that the School has a mission and a plan for all children and that promise is supported by the curriculum and the staff.” Suzanne Blaicher, P '23

I am Louis Thomas, Class of ‘24. When I first arrived at Rumsey as an 8th grader, having spent my entire educational journey at a New York City school, I was nervous and excited about the transition. Despite my initial apprehension, it took me just two weeks to settle into life at Rumsey.

The pursuit of genuine effort extends beyond our students

From our leadership to our teachers, we imagine innovative ways to teach academic, athletic, and life values to our students. Then, we strive with that 'Rumsey Effort' to create channels for each child to grow without bound.

When we engage with people in our dorms, we learn communication skills that forge meaningful relationships.
