Virtual Open House
Tune into our first Virtual Open House of the season! You'll get a sneak preview of the application process before the main event: wide-ranging panels with current students and parents, who share their experiences with everything from the “workload balancing act” to Hancock bonding experiences, from "incredibly intellectually engaging classes” to the mind-boggling variety of extracurriculars, and much, much more.

Thank you to all who joined us and asked such thoughtful questions! We always welcome additional questions, too: admissions@commschool.org.
Virtual Information Session for Fall 2026 Admission
Kick off the 2026 admissions process with Commonwealth School! Tune in as two panels—one with current students, the other with current parents—discuss everything from application considerations to academic support to simply commuting to school.
My first impression of Commonwealth was that it was a small school made up of highly intellectual people. And while this proved to be true, the social environment of the school also turned out to be way more interesting and dynamic than I had anticipated. I didn’t expect Commonwealth to make me feel so comfortable or that I would make friends with lots of people in my grade and in others.
