Preschool, Kindergarten, and Elementary School Admission Process

The Application Process

An application form must be submitted to the school along with a non-refundable $50 application fee.* Please answer all questions on the application form as fully as possible. Please arrange with your child's current school to send school progress reports (see enclosed release of information form). Once we have received the application and fee we will send a letter confirming our receipt of the application. If there are currently no openings, we will also ask if you would like your child's name to be placed on the waiting list (see below).

Please note: Request for Records and Release of Information: Please forward the Request for Records form to the records office of the student's present school.

*This fee is waived for families applying for financial aid.

The Visit

The visit is an opportunity for parent(s) to view our school, discuss our schools' mission, curriculum and philosophy as it relates to your child's unique talents, special interests and learning style. Older students may spend a morning or an entire day "shadowing" in the class for which they are applying once we have received your application.

Financial Arrangements

Once your child has been accepted, a non-refundable materials and insurance fee will need to be paid and a Tuition and Enrollment Agreement signed. All fees and tuition are listed in the Tuition and Fee Schedule. Tuition assistance may be available for those who apply and qualify.

Waiting Lists

Any child whose application is received after the class has reached maximum enrollment has the opportunity to be placed on a waiting list. Should an opening arise, the parent(s) will be called in the order in which the application was received. If the parent(s) cannot be reached, the next name on the list will be called. The child's name will remain on the waiting list until he or she is enrolled, the parent(s) request that the child's name be removed, or an opening offered is refused. A child can be placed on the waiting list only after we receive an application form along with the non-refundable application fee.
