ADMISSIONS PROCESS
Our school strives to cultivate an exceptionally diverse family community. Our admissions practices reflect this mission to meet the needs of individual children and families, and to allow children to learn from a rich social community. Each class has its own unique balance of students, and in order to find the best fits for openings in these classes, we look for the specific attributes of a child that would mesh the most naturally with the rest of the class, rather than a child's rank on a waiting list. Because of this practice, it is very difficult to predict an applicant’s chances for admission. However, we will do everything that we can to guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have along the way.
Our admissions process has three main components:
1. Submit an application ( download )
You can downloand the application here.
2. Schedule a General Information Session and a Classroom Observation Tour
