The Anderson School (PS334) seeks a diverse student population and welcomes applications from students of all races, ethnicities, and economic backgrounds living in any of the five boroughs. Students entering grades 6 and 7 may apply; new students are not admitted into 8th grade. This page describes the 7th grade application process; there is a separate page for 6th grade application information. For information about Open Houses and Tours, please visit this page.Students must apply directly to the Anderson School using our school’s own application. Students from any district or borough may apply, providing they meet the initial criteria outlined below. Every applicant meeting the initial academic criteria who has submitted an on time application will be invited to participate in an admissions test given at the school that includes a writing assignment and math assessment. Most years, a number of our students are accepted into Hunter College High School, which begins at 7th grade. We never know how many 7th grade seats are available until those students decide whether or not to attend Hunter (usually in early March.) If you are new to the NYC public schools (moving to NYC or switching from a NYC private school) please read this page before you continue!

Selection Process
Every applicant meeting the initial academic criteria who has submitted an on-time application will be invited to participate in an admissions test given at the school that includes a writing assignment and math assessment. The acceptance list and ranked waitlist will be created after a thorough evaluation of the students performance on the onsite test, report cards, test scores, and the teacher recommendation. There is no preference given to where these students live, nor do we have a sibling policy. We do not conduct student interviews or review portfolios of work.
Admissions notifications will be distributed to families in the spring. Visiting Anderson For information about Open Houses and Tours, please visit this page. Unfortunately, we do not have enough staff to handle all of our admissions phone calls - thank you for understanding.
