Application Process

Our admissions process is highly personalized. Our goal is to learn as much as possible about your child while we, in turn, help you to learn more about the MPH community.

The Admissions Process

First, Tell Us You’re Interested

The first step is to complete an inquiry form. This notifies the Admissions team of your family’s interest in MPH, and should be completed in advance of an application. A member of the Admissions team will respond promptly to provide you with more information, answer your questions, and offer guidance as you prepare for the application process to come.

Visiting MPH

Individual Campus Visits

We offer campus tours on weekdays between 9 am and 3 pm. You do not need to have submitted an application prior to your campus visit!

Please email admissions@mphschool.org or call 315-446-2452 to schedule your visit.

Applying

An application to MPH begins with submission of our Online Application Form. There is a $60 application fee charged at the time of submission.* You will then be prompted to provide some supplemental materials; these materials vary by grade level and can all be easily submitted using our online application portal. (See below for more details).

*A limited number of application fee waiver codes are available. Email us at admissions@mphschool.org for more details.

In most cases, new students enter MPH in the fall semester.

Timing

We recommend that families complete the application process by March 1 for priority consideration for admissions and tuition assistance. Several of our grades were at capacity/waitlisted for 2024-25. Application will be accepted and considered after March 1 on a space-available basis.

Admissions Decisions

Admissions decisions are communicated on a rolling basis, depending upon when your application completes. We allow families time to consider our admissions offer, ask questions, connect with our community, and explore tuition assistance options before deciding whether to enroll their child.
