Steps to Enroll
Parents interested in enrolling their child must complete an application and attend a tour of the school before being eligible to enroll. Enrollment for the 2025-2026 academic year starts on January 27th for new families. We accept children age 3 years through Kindergarten; your child must be 2 years and 8 months before September to enroll in the 2025-2026 school year.
• Request a tour through our website to put your name and information on our list.
• Complete an application form and submit an application fee for each child. Fees are $75 for the first application, and $60 for each additional application in the family. Please call the office to submit payment by card over the phone or drop by to pay in person with cash, check, or card. Please note that there is a 4% fee for any payments made by card.
The order in which a family enrolls is based upon the date of your first contact with the school and the date you complete an application.
• Attend a tour of the school. Formal tours are offered three times a year. On the tour, Rich Lange, the head director, along with director Wendy Starnes, will show parents the different interest areas of the school and explain the philosophy and programs in detail. Our next formal tour is scheduled for Saturday, January 11th, 2025 at 10 am. If you are hoping to enroll for this fall, please watch our formal tour videos here. The next formal tour will be in April.
• Enrollment for the Academic Year begins in January. Please note that enrollment fees may be paid by cash or check only. The enrollment fee will only be deposited if your child is offered a spot.
