Additional Application Information

Application fee: $50.00

Acceptance criteria: Our responsibility to our current students gives them first acceptance priority to re-enroll in our program. Since we are a family school, we also give priority to siblings of currently and previously enrolled children. The priority status extends only to November 15th. After that date all candidates are considered for selection on an equal basis. From November 15 the Director reviews all candidates within a rolling admission process. Based on the group of candidates reviewed some children are placed on our wait list while others are offered a space in our program. When your child is offered a space you must return a signed enrollment contract and a non-refundable deposit to hold the spot for your child
