Admission to Roycemore

Roycemore School seeks to enroll students in pre-kindergarten through Grade 12 who possess the ability and desire to prepare for successful performance in college. Roycemore School is an independent, fully accredited, coeducational, college preparatory day school in Evanston, Illinois providing a liberal arts education to students from Junior Kindergarten (3 year olds) through Grade 12. Admission is open to all qualified students and is not based on race, religion, color or ethnic origin.

We appreciate your interest in Roycemore and look forward to working with you as you move through the application process. Roycemore operates on a rolling admission policy, which means there is no application deadline where classes have availability.

While not required, we encourage interested families to attend an upcoming open house and become more familiar with the school. Arrangements may also be made for contact by a current Roycemore parent or to attend a school event as a guest.

Tuition for Roycemore School is comparable to other area independent schools and ranges depending on grade level, fees and transportation needs.

Do not hesitate to contact Director of Admission Carolyn Coyne with questions or to further discuss opportunities for your student.

Application Process:
  • Submit an Application for Admission with $50 fee (download pdf).
  • Have the current school provide results of standardized tests taken during the last six months or arrange for the testing to be done at Roycemore.
  • Contact the Director of Admission to make an appointment for an interview and class visit, and, if applying for Grades 7-12, to compose a writing sample
