The Enrollment Process

 Step One – Attend A Tour!

 A Day in the Early Childhood takes place in one of our Kindergarten classrooms, with our soft spoken teachers walking parents through the gentle rhythms of a day in the early childhood program.  Find out what we do and why we do it.  Learn more about setting good rhythms for the young child with sleeping and eating.  We will discuss healthy play, discipline, media and more.

A Walk Through The Grades - This two hour tour will include an overview of the curriculum by grade, discussion of the seven special subjects and plenty of time for the most frequently asked questions regarding media, homework, discipline and other pertinent topics.  The highlight of this tour is the unique opportunity to visit the grades classrooms to see the class teachers in action with their students.

 Step Two – Submit an Application

Placement is ongoing year-round on a space-available basis and is subsequent to a family interview and teacher acceptance.  Applications are accepted up to one year in advance.  The application fee is $50 per student.  In the event that your child is waitlisted, your nonrefundable application fee will remain effective for one additional year.

Early Childhood:  
Our Nursery class size is limited to twelve children, ages 2.9 – 4 years old.  We have three mixed age Kindergarten classes serving children ages 3, 4, 5 and 6.  Kindergarten classes are limited to twenty-two students.  There is always a teacher and assistant present in each class.  In our Early Childhood classes we strive for a healthy balance of ages making it possible that although we may have an opening in a class, there may not be an opening for your child’s age. 

Elementary Grades:
Most grades have a class teacher and an assistant, and are considered full at thirty students.  Children have to be six by May 1 in order to be considered for Grade 1.

 Step Three – Admissions Interview

An in-depth meeting with the appropriate Grades teacher or Early Childhood teachers is mandatory prior to enrollment.  The focus of this time with your family is to ensure that the “fit” between your child and our school will be an enriching and fruitful one.  For most Grades applicants, a school visit of one to five days is required to assist in determining compatibility between the student and the class.

 Step Four - Registration

Upon teacher acceptance, you will receive registration materials to include a Registration Form, Contract, Early Childhood licensing forms (if applicable), and payment information.  Submission of the relevant forms and fees constitutes the completion of your child’s enrollment.
