Admissions Process:

  1. Contact us to visit the school and observe a class in session. We can help you determine if this is the right fit for your child and your family. 

  2. After you visit, if we are a good fit for your family, you can add your name to the waiting list.

  3. Once you move off the waiting list, our administration will reach out to you regarding the application and enrollment process.

Waiting List:

We currently have a waiting list. Please do not let this discourage you from adding your child to our list. There is no obligation to be added to the waiting list. To sign up for the waiting list, you must complete a visit to the school.

It is very difficult to predict the movement of the waiting list. All prospective families are added to the same list. When a space is available we start at the top, contacting the families of the children that fit into the age range for the space we are looking to fill.

Tuition and Enrollment: 

Application Fee

A one-time fee application fee of $75 is due with the application. Application fees are only required of new students. Priority is given to currently enrolled students and to siblings. 

Enrollment and Materials Fee

An annual $450 materials and enrollment fee is due for each student. This fee guarantees your child's place in the program. This fee is not refundable or transferable.

Tuition

Tuition is paid for the academic year and is not tied to the number of days of school in any given month, nor is it reduced due to sickness or vacations. Payments are made monthly. Tuition is non-refundable and non-transferable. A 10% tuition discount is given to the siblings of currently enrolled students. 

Re-Enrollment

Re-enrollment begins in February with contracts due in March. The annual enrollment and material fee is due June 1. After June 1, all spaces not secured with an enrollment and material fee will be offered to new families.
