Student Profile

While Hamilton students have great overall cognitive ability, they often struggle with acquiring reading, spelling, written expression, math, organization, and study skills due to dyslexia, executive function weaknesses, or other learning differences. We believe that our students can learn these skills to function well and excel in school and life.

Admission Cycle

While Hamilton maintains a “rolling” admission policy when spaces are available, regular admission decisions are made no later than February 23. These decisions are not based on “first come first served,” but rather on the best available candidate (i.e. match) for a particular class. Limited financial aid is available, but is not a factor in admissions decisions.
