The application deadline for the summer round of admissions for Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST) for the class of 2012 (ninth grade) is Friday, June 30, 2008. Only public and private school eighth grade students who moved into a participating school division (the counties of Fairfax, Fauquier, Arlington, Loudoun, or Prince William or the city of Falls Church) after September 30, 2007, may apply at this time.

June 30, 2008, is a firm deadline to which no exceptions will be made for any reason. Applications can be mailed but must be postmarked no later than June 30, 2008. An applicant from a school division other than Fairfax County should contact the TJHSST admissions office prior to making application to ensure that his or her school division has not exceeded its limit for the number of its students who can attend TJHSST in the class of 2012.

Students applying during the summer round must already have completed Algebra 1 during eighth grade. Additional information regarding eligibility and residency requirements for applicants can be found at: www.TJAdmissions.org. All applicants must take the TJHSST admissions test on July 8, 2008.

Applications are available at the TJHSST Office of Admissions, Devonshire Center, Suite 9, 2831 Graham Road, Falls Church, VA 22042. The office is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Please direct any inquiries to the TJHSST admission office at 703-876-5265.
