Admission Policies
Application requirements
To determine an applicant's readiness to meet the standards of our school and the demands of our curriculum, the Admissions Office considers a student's academic record, language abilities, social and emotional characteristics, recommendations from teachers, and parental commitment to the child's educational development.
Most families will have an interview to discuss curriculum, expectations, and match. At this time they tour the campus and see the facilities. If needed the Admissions Office conducts a personal interview with the student as well. Candidates are tested for English proficiency, reading comprehension, writing, and mathematics.
Pre-primary candidates are interviewed to verify their stage of development and educational readiness for the educational program.
