How admissions works
A decision made together.
The process gives the child, family, and school time to understand one another before making a decision.

A day in class
A classroom visit
Your child joins a class and takes part in a typical school day and evaluation. For grades 4–8, the evaluation takes place over two days.

The school typically follows up promptly after the evaluation.
When the process feels right, begin with a visit or an application conversation.
