St. Timothy'S School

St. Timothy’s School describes its teaching philosophy as combining disciplined academic mastery with deep self-understanding, guided by its motto, “Truth Without Fear.” Its approach emphasizes inquiry, action, and reflection through the International Baccalaureate program, pairing rigorous study with experiential learning, global engagement, character formation, and strong personal support so students grow into principled, confident leaders.

St. Timothy’s School’s admissions page says families should first schedule a visit, then apply through the school’s online application, Gateway to Prep Schools, or SAO. (stt.org) Required materials include recommendations from the current English teacher, math teacher, and a principal/advisor/guidance counselor, plus transcripts from the current year and previous two years; testing is test-optional, though SSAT/ISEE scores are accepted, grades 11–12 applicants may submit PSAT/SAT/ACT instead, and ESL applicants must submit TOEFL/TOEFL Jr. or may choose Duolingo English Test results.
