Hamilton Application Process

Send in your child’s current psycho-educational or neuropsychological-educational evaluation, as well as any reports from specialists, including speech/language specialists and tutors.

All evaluations should be sent to Anna DiStefano via email to annadistefano@wheelerschool.org or mail to The Wheeler School c/o Anna DiStefano, 216 Hope Street, Providence, RI 02906.

Please click here to set up your parent/guardian portal account and to submit your child’s online application.

After reviewing your child’s testing materials to determine if your child may be a good match for the program, the Enrollment Coordinator/ Hamilton School Liaison will contact you to schedule a meeting with the Head of Hamilton and the Director of Enrollment at the Hamilton School. During this meeting you’ll discuss your child’s evaluation as well as whether Hamilton can meet his or her needs. You’ll also go on a tour of the Hamilton School.

Once the child’s current psycho-educational or neuropsychological-educational evaluation is reviewed and the parent/guardian meeting has taken place, you will be contacted with the next steps.

**Please note that the online application must be complete before the student assessment occurs.**
