How To Apply
Let’s get started: Our online application
The Office of Admission has made applying to Maumee Valley Country Day School as simple as possible. A completed online application actually starts our admission review process, which also includes your visit to campus, an assessment test for certain grades, and an in-person interview.
Admission to Maumee Valley is selective, and all the steps in the process must be completed before the Admission Committee reviews the full application. The time between completing an application and acceptance notification depends upon how soon the required materials are submitted and the required visits, interviews, and tests are completed.
