Please join Tara Terry, Head of School, for a conversation about Fletcher’s upcoming reaccreditation.
As part of the reaccreditation process, the School sets goals for a self-study, and we depend on valuable feedback from our families about upcoming priorities.
The Fletcher School's re-enrollment process began on Monday, February 5, and will close on Thursday, February 22.
Instructions for online re-enrollment were emailed from Patti Stodghill, our Student Affairs Assistant.
We will begin enrolling new students immediately after February 22 and are unable to hold a seat for students who have not re-enrolled. A response is required from all current families by February 22, whether returning or transferring. We will be unable to grant extensions.
An $800 non-refundable enrollment fee will be due upon submission of your enrollment packet. The 2024-2025 Schedule of Costs and Payments and Financial Aid Policy is available here for your review.
