We are accepting applications for the 2024-2025 academic year.

The Admissions Director will review an application only when a complete packet has been submitted. If we believe the program meets your child’s needs, we will invite them for an on campus interview, placement testing, and classroom visit.
After your child's visit, the Admissions Committee meets to thoroughly assess the potential fit between the student and our program. Decision letters and enrollment contracts are mailed within two weeks.
Upon acceptance, your student’s placement for the following school year is secured when you sign an enrollment contract and provide a non-refundable tuition deposit of $15,000.
