2025-2026 Year

Information Regarding Kindergarten Age-Eligibility

Enrollment for the 2025-2026 School Year

We are excited to announce that our applications are now OPEN and can be found HERE!

You will first be instructed to create an account, and then you will be able to submit an application for any student that you wish to submit an application for.  

Please note, due to the volume of applications received, we cannot confirm receipt of all applications.  You can instead login to your FACTS account and review if the application has been successfully submitted.   You also may not hear from us for several weeks after submitting an application, or having an assessment done. This is due to our multistep application process. Applications are processed on a first-come, first-serve basis.  As we process applications in order of receipt,  and in accordance with our internal scheduling, we will be contacting families to notify them of the next step in our application process.  For Pre-K and Kindergarten, this includes an assessment.  After we conduct the assessment, we will notify you if we are able to offer enrollment and if we are, you will be prompted to complete enrollment documents at that time and to submit a deposit to secure your spot.  For Grades 1-8, we require a shadow day and interview, after receipt of all requisite admissions documents.
