It’s very important to us that every student here is given the chance to succeed. In order to do so, we conduct interviews and assessments that help make sure we’re the right fit for each other. They vary slightly depending on your student’s entry point.
Toddler (18 months to 3.7 years)
For our youngest age group, we hold informal meetings that — along with the time we share during your visit(s) to campus — give us a feel for one another and help us determine the role our programs and environment may play.Â
Junior and Middle School (Preschool to Grade 8)
Ours is a rich, independent, and motivating environment, so students in this age range spend time with our staff more intentionally to ensure that we’re able to help support them in their personal educational journey.
Family Alignment
Every member of our community matters, which is why we hold discussions with every applicant’s parent(s) and/or guardian(s) to ensure our values and goals align. After all, when families and schools work together, the students benefit!
Submitting an inquiry form is the first step. Doing so connects you with our admissions team so we can book you for a tour or an open house. It’s an important and valuable part of the process.Â
