FSMH Admissions Policy
 Friends School Mullica Hill seeks students who can contribute to and benefit from its program. Students are selected for admission to the school on the basis of academic potential, developmental maturity, school achievement, and readiness for the school’s program. Where appropriate, testing is used as a tool to provide information to assist in the assessment of each candidate. In all cases, the school retains the right to determine, in its sole discretion, whether or not to select a student for admission or to re-enroll a student. The Admissions Committee makes recommendations to the Head of School, who has ultimate authority and sole discretion in the decision whether or not to admit or re-enroll a student. Typically, admission decisions are based upon multiple criteria:
- Academic readiness or qualification;
- Maturity;
- Affiliation with the school;
- Diversity and gender balance;
- Appropriateness of the match between the family and the school.
Preference in admission is given to siblings of current and former students, children of alumni, and Quaker children.
When the school cannot offer a place to a child, we are eager to offer counsel on other schools that may be able to accommodate the student. When there are more qualified candidates than openings available, the school establishes an unranked waiting list. If any openings occur, the Admissions Committee recommends which candidate(s) to offer a position based on the overall profile of the class and the match between the needs and qualifications of the student with the needs of the school.
It is the policy of the school not to discriminate in violation of the law on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, or a disability which is unrelated to the ability to enjoy the benefits of the school’s program, facilities, or services. All persons are encouraged to apply.
