ADMISSION, ALUMNI, AND DEVELOPMENT

The Admissions Office is staffed with four professionals who are responsible for enrolling approximately 40+ new students each year. Like so many boarding schools, Oldfields is highly tuition-dependent, and the Head of School plays an active role in the admissions process. The School currently has two international students and has had several students from a number of countries pre-pandemic. The Admissions Office is currently working to regrow this enrollment by 25–40 students annually. There is an International Student Advisor to provide additional support for these students along with their advisor. Oldfi elds currently enrolls 35% students of color. Domestic students currently come from 16 states, with 40% of all students receiving need-based financial aid. The financial aid budget this year totals $1.7 million. The next Head of School will work with the Oldfields community to fully articulate the School’s program and differentiate the Oldfields promise. The Head of School will work with the admissions team to develop a comprehensive enrollment management program to cultivate a robust enrollment of mission-appropriate young women.
