Admissions

The successful Governor Dummer Academy applicant is a highly motivated student who has demonstrated ability, promise and character -- a student who will both gain from the GDA experience and contribute to it.

The Admissions Committee takes into consideration school performance, test scores, recommendations, extracurricular involvement and impressions from the personal GDA interview which is required for all applicants.

While most new students enter Governor Dummer in the freshman and sophomore years, a few places open each year in the junior class.

In accordance with the Academy's view that cultural diversity is a cornerstone of a thorough education, Governor Dummer encourages students from all backgrounds and areas to apply for admission. The Academy does not set geographic limits for the admission of day students; GDA does not, however, provide daily transportation.
