Read on for more information on our Application Process. If at any time you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the school. 

Image with text: APPLYING EARLY - We encourage interested families to apply for admissions at least one year ahead of when you want your child to start school, to ensure there is space available and to facilitate payment options. For our Toddler programs, students need to be 18 months or turning 18 months in the month they begin. All of our programs follow the school calendar year, and therefore students begin their programs in September. Applications may be submitted prior to attending the School Tour. Applications are placed in our wait pool in the order in which they are received.

SCHOOL TOURS

As part of the application process, we invite you to attend a School Tour. Visit our School Tours page for more details.
