Early Notification Program
Stevens Cooperative School is committed to a policy of affording siblings of currently enrolled students and children of full-time faculty at Stevens a preference in the Stevens admission process. In accordance with this policy, Stevens offers an optional Early Notification Program for these applicants. The plan is intended to expedite the admissions process for those who are already part of our school community. Early Notification also benefits the school by clarifying the number of places available for the general applicant pool.
Early Notification is also available to external families applying to PreK 3, PreK 4 and Kindergarten. Applications for older grades must check with Admissions Office prior to checking the Early Notification box in the application.
The application for Fall 2026 opens on September 1, 2025. Begin your application process here!
