Counterpane’s mission is to assist the development of students as academically and creatively engaged, community-sensitive, responsible people who know themselves well. It should be understood that our success in this mission is more of a function of the self-discipline and the attitude of the student than of the student’s “intelligence quotient.”

Admissions is handled on a case-by-case basis that begins with a visit by the student and parents. We offer rolling admissions, so we accept students year-round.
