Application Process
The application process is designed so that we (and you) can be sure that your child will find joy in our unique learning environment. Not every child will thrive with the pace and rigor in our curriculum.

Your admission checklist will include the following pieces:
-
Parent questionnaire
-
Report Card or Progress Report
-
Teacher recommendation
-
Individual assessment
-
Interview/classroom assessment
