The Admissions Process
The application process at Dorris-Eaton.
The application process for August admission traditionally begins in the fall/winter prior to the school year in which the student will attend. Students are also accepted throughout the year, as mid-year vacancies do occur.
To ensure consideration for the February 21, 2025 early notification date, completed application materials for the 2025-2026 academic year must be submitted and interviews/evaluations must be completed by February 7, 2025. For those seeking admission after the early notification date or mid-year admission, please contact the admissions office for availability.
