In order to fulfill the mission of Our Sisters’ School, admissions committee members seek to recruit and admit young women from the Greater New Bedford area who show academic and personal potential, and who seem most likely to benefit from the OSS model of education. Our admissions priorities include geographic location and family income, with priority status granted to girls whose family income falls below the state fuel-assistance guidelines.
Families complete an application form, available in English, Spanish and Portuguese, with basic contact information as well as signed releases for academic and medical records. The school also requests recommendation forms from each child’s current and previous classroom teachers. Families have the option of submitting a recommendation form completed by an adult community member, such as a coach or instructor, who can provide additional insight into each child. The final step in the admissions process is the student/family interview at OSS.
