Application for Admission

We are currently only accepting applications for kindergarten and first grade students. Students can enter in the Spring or Fall semester. After a parent has observed the school and made the decision to apply for their child's admission, an application form should be completed and returned along with the application fee. Because parental support of the teaching approach is essential to the success of children in the school, both parents are asked to attend an admission interview. Student applicants are invited to visit the school for a part of the school day and meet the teachers and other students. Families are notified of their child's acceptance soon after the child's visit. Upon acceptance, a registration deposit is required.Students who are transferring from another school are required to bring their records and a reference from a former teacher. Both parents are asked to attend Orientation prior to the beginning of school or during their child's first semester.
