In order to be considered for admission, at least one parent or guardian must be genuinely involved and interested in each boy’s welfare. This person must be willing to participate in regular family therapy either in person or by telephone, implement home behavior management programs, and take the student home for each scheduled vacation. Continuous communication between home and school is essential. Attendance at the five week summer session is required for all boys.

An admission decision is generally determined within one to two weeks following an overnight visit. Enrollment date is based upon availability.

We are currently interviewing and accepting applicants for the 2008-2009 school year.  Please call to discuss an applicant's appropriateness or send a recent Psychological Evaluation for us to review.

Admission Process

• Current psychological testing, WISC III or WISC IV
• Personality testing, if available
• Current school reports including transcript and grades
• Current ISP/IEP, if appropriate
• Speech and Language, Occupational Therapy reports, if appropriate

After review of records, you will be contacted by the Admissions Director regarding the decision to schedule a twenty-four hour visit.

Little Keswick School wishes to provide the best experience for boys that we can, and this is facilitated by having the best diagnostic understandings that we can establish. It follows, then, that upon admission, we would want to take a careful inventory of what has been learned and understood about a child. The years a child spends at Little Keswick are usually developmentally critical years, and making the most of the time we have with each boy is vitally important. For this reason, considerable effort is expended upon enrollment to quickly understand a child as fully as we can, and we continue to develop our understanding during a child’s Little Keswick enrollment. The assessment begins during the admissions process.

Little Keswick School operates on a non-discriminatory basis. This policy, in effect for enrollment of students and hiring of staff, prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or creed.

Tuition and Related Services

Little Keswick accepts funding from parents or school districts. Enrollment contracts, specifying financial responsibility, must be signed and in place prior to a student’s admission into the program. If parents enroll their child while seeking public funding, the parents remain responsible for full payment of all required monies, until written approval and funding are received from the school district.

Application Fee: A $300 non-refundable application fee is charged for applicants scheduled for an overnight, on-campus visit. The fee should be submitted with the completed application forms.

Deposit: A one time $2,000 deposit is required for each enrolling student, regardless of funding source. When the student leaves Little Keswick, with all other tuition and fees paid in full, the deposit will be returned to the payee.
