Director's Comments
Question to director: Please list anything you wish parents to be aware of with respect to the application process.
Once we have completed the first round of admissions which falls in line with the agreed upon EBISA (East Bay Independent Schools Association) dates each year then we go to rolling admission until we are full. We generally do not begin the year full. Rather we have new children start based on when they turn 3 years old.
