First round applicants (decisions announced 2/19/2021 )
First round applicants apply to SJI in the fall of the year prior to their admission. They have priority for financial aid and scholarship decisions and for admissions and wait-lists calls.
Tours and shadow day visits are a great way to get to know what the St. Jerome Institute is about. Visitors can sit in on a seminar or observe students working on projects first hand, while students can see what an entire day at SJI is like. You can use our interest forms to sign up, or contact our enrollment administrator, Emily Strab at estrab@stjeromeinstitute.org or 301-887-3008.

Currently we are unable to offer shadow days.
A shadow day is a great way to see our curriculum in action through our students in their classes throughout the day. Shadow days are often the biggest help in decision-making for parents and students.
Shadow days are offered throughout the Fall for 8th graders and throughout the Spring for 7th graders. SJI shadow days are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays 8:30am-2:45pm.
Please call 301-887-3008 to schedule a shadow day for your middle school student.
