Review the Mass Academy website to determine whether you are eligible to apply to Mass Academy, and that it is a good fit for you.
Look through the About Menu at the top of this page which includes our Academics, School Profile, Student Web Pages, Faculty, answers to Frequently Asked Questions, and more.

If you would like to learn more or are interested in applying to Mass Academy, please consider attending one of our in-person information sessions. At these sessions, you will have the opportunity to tour the school, meet staff and current students, and hear an overview of our program and admissions process. While attending an information session is highly recommended, it is not required.
Information Session Dates and Times
Information sessions will be in person at Mass Academy and begin promptly at the designated time:
- Saturday, November 2, 2024, from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
- Thursday, January 9, 2025, from 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Both information sessions will include a director’s welcome and classroom visits. The director’s welcome will provide an overview of the Mass Academy program, including the admission policies, curriculum, school calendar, and expectations. The classroom visits will allow students and families the opportunity to visit the classroom areas and speak with faculty and current students.

Space is limited. Participants are strongly encouraged to register in advance. Doors open 15 minutes prior to information session start time.
If you are unable to attend one of the scheduled in-person information sessions, you can watch a previously recorded virtual information session here.

You can start or continue an application at any point in the application process, but we recommend starting one early so you can begin to gather the necessary information and request recommendations.
The Apply button at the top of this page will lead to the Application Portal when the application system is open, from mid-November to early February.
The student portion of an application includes Background Information, Activities List, Two Essay Prompts, and an optional Video Submission. Learn more about what information is required for the student portion of an application.
A completed application includes 3 required teacher recommendations, 1 required school counselor recommendation (with transcripts), and 1 optional recommendation, along with 3 Guarantees of Residency (see Residency Requirement). Learn more about what is required for the teacher recommendations, and school counselor recommendation.
Applicants must use their accounts in the Application Portal to email recommendation requests to the recommenders from within the system.

A Shadow Visit involves spending 3-4 hours at Mass Academy, attending classes with a host student, and meeting students and faculty to get a sense of the program. Shadow Visits may be scheduled for school days from December through February.
Shadow Visits are only open to current 10^th grade students. Attending a Shadow Visit is highly recommended but is not required.
Shadow Visits will be offered in the morning (7:15 am – 11:15 am) and afternoon (11:15 am – 2:45 pm). Guests will be assigned a Mass Academy student host for the duration of their visit.
Scheduling is currently open for December through mid-January visits. Due to limited availability, students can only sign up for one shadow visit.

Click on the Apply button on the top of this page to continue and complete your application in the Application Portal from mid-November to early February.
Completed applications are due by 11:59 pm EST on February 10, 2025.
Admission decisions are emailed in early May. Students who are accepted will attend a mandatory orientation with their parents/guardians in June. More information on this event will be provided upon acceptance.
