Dear Interested Parent or Student,

Sant Bani, now in its thirty-sixth year, provides quality education within the context of a caring community. A rural location and diverse program that stresses the development of the whole student are assets that have contributed to the rapid growth of the school—from six students in 1973 to now over 170 students in kindergarten through grade twelve.

Applications for admission are accepted throughout the school year; most decisions are made in the early spring.

Individual family tours are scheduled only for those students seeking admission into those grades in which there are predicted spaces. If you are interested in Sant Bani, please contact Becky Beane, the admissions secretary, to set up a tour of the school.

While we have been fortunate to attract the interest of parents and students throughout central New Hampshire, our growth carries with it the difficult task of choosing among many qualified applicants. Thus, there are waiting lists in several of our grades.

For those grades in which we do not have immediate openings, we maintain a “waiting pool.” When an opening becomes available, we consider all students in the pool for admission to Sant Bani. For those who are interested in filing an application in order to become part of our waiting pool, group information sessions are held during most months.

Once our admissions office has received completed applications and all of the accompanying paperwork, we will arrange a visit should reports indicate there is a possible good match for the upcoming school year.

Sincerely,

Susan Dyment

Director of Admissions
