In the admissions process, it is important for a prospective student and his/her family to understand the mission and goals of Kenston Forest School; it is also important for the Admissions Committee to meet the student and learn about his/her academic and personal qualities. The admissions process is designed to help prospective families and the school make a clear appraisal of one another to determine whether an appropriate match exists between the two.  The admissions process includes the following:
