Application Process
It is our goal that the end result of the admissions process is a good match between a family and Archer. The Admissions Committee considers many factors when evaluating an applicant, including the application, transcript, standardized tests, teacher recommendations, and interview. These components as a whole help the Committee form a complete picture of each applicant -- her strengths, interests, and personal qualities. We seek families that will support and uphold the mission of the school and students who are best suited to make positive contributions to our community.

"I chose Archer because when I came on the campus, I automatically loved the school. I loved the girls who showed me around, and I felt so welcomed by every girl. We're all sisters and friends."

"At another school, our daughter didn't like the interview process at all. She said 'Mom, they just ask a million questions, and at Archer they ask about my friends, and about my life, and about things that actually matter.' So she was really happy."
