Admissions~Important Dates~Class Pricing

 

Steps for Admission

1. Tour

The admission process begins with prospective families coming to the school for a tour. This allows us to show you around the building, make initial introductions, and answer any questions you may have. We will also provide you with a folder with more information about our program. Children are welcome to attend. Tours are typically schedule on Monday or Friday mornings at 8:30 AM during the school year and by appointment during the summer.             

2. Application

Applications can be submitted on our website.

3. Testing

Once the application is reviewed and your student is deemed eligible, the school will reach out to you to schedule admission testing, unless previous test scores are submitted which meet the admission requirement. We require all students to be in the 60th percentile or higher on national standardized testing. (Mastery or Advanced on LEAP). In order to maintain our high level of rigor and pace, it is important that all incoming students are performing at the same level as our current students.

4. Reference and Records Request

We'll contact your prior school for recommendations from teachers and administrators, as well as records such as transcripts, testing results, and attendance records. 

5. Family Interview

If your student receives the required score on the admission test, then the school will reach out to schedule a family interview with our Admissions committee. This is our opportunity to meet with parents and students and get to know you even better. We’ll ask questions to ensure that the learning environment at home is conducive to our hybrid model and that your student is set up to succeed.

6. Spend A Day

After the interview, if the school chooses to proceed with your application, we will invite your student to come and spend a day with us at school. This will give your student the opportunity to get to know their potential classmates and teachers and for us to observe how your student conducts themselves in the classroom and during recess.

6. Acceptance Decision

Once all the above steps have been completed, you will receive an acceptance decision via email. If accepted, you will receive an acceptance invitation form to complete and return along with the registration fee. This is when your student will be considered fully admitted and a spot will be held for them.
