Dalton Academy has rigorous academic requirements and a strict code of conduct, so we urge you to consider this offer carefully before accepting. Enclosed please find more information regarding:

-tuition and boarding costs

-the probationary period for mid-term transfers

-semester and yearlong scholarships

-our dress code

-our code of conduct and oath of academic honesty

If there's any other information you require, please let me know. We await your final decision and provisionally welcome you to the class of 2012.

Warm regards,
