How to Apply
The admissions process begins with a tour to discover more about our school for academically gifted students. We want to get to know you and your child—and help you get to know us—so together we can determine if a Grayson education is right for your family.
Every Gifted Child is Unique
Because giftedness is expressed in so many different ways, we evaluate all applicants on multiple criteria. Some characteristics they exhibit may be:
- asking “why” questions and displaying intellectual curiosity about many different topics
- having the capacity to understand abstract concepts and ask complex questions
- enjoying taking things apart and/or putting them together, and being full of creativity and wonder in wanting to build, design, and invent
- grasping new ideas quickly and applying them in different contexts
- expressing deep passion about an area of interest that may be outside their school curriculum.
Does this sound like your child? We would love to hear from you.
“This is the best school you can find! I go there and the teachers are awesome! At my old school, they only gave me easy things that I could do in five seconds…At Grayson, I am challenged and am able to work at my own pace instead of the entire class doing the exact same thing as if we were all at the exact same level.”

Financial Aid
The Grayson School Financial Assistance program is designed to make a Grayson education possible for all academically gifted students and their families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. Currently, more than 40% of famililes receive financial aid. We are proud to use the Clarity Application to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application which includes assets, income, expenses, and debts.
The Grayson School offers admission without regard to financial need. After a student is offered admission, a family request for financial assistance will be considered.
There are a number of scholarship opportunities available to gifted K-12 students which you can find under Gifted Resources.
