Upper School Admissions

Thank you for your interest in the Upper School at NEST+m, a citywide Gifted & Talented program. Admission to the Upper School for 2011–2012 is open to New York City residents applying for the Ninth and Tenth Grades only. Because NEST+m is a screened school, prospective students must take our Entrance Exam in order to be considered for admission. Please speak to your current Guidance Counselor to obtain a High School Application. NEST+m must be listed as one of your choices on your application.

—Stephanie Glasgall, Upper School Guidance/Admissions Counselor
