Step Two: Apply online

Application due dates for our priority Admissions are as follows:

  • December 1 – Children’s House Toddler (ages 15 months – 3) and Primary students (ages 3 -4)
  • February 1  – Kindergarten – 8th grade  

Applications received after the above deadlines will be welcomed on a rolling basis. Apply today!

Step 3: Student Visits

  • Elementary students (Kindergarten – 8th grade) visit the school for either a one hour, half-day, or full-day session, depending on their grade PRIOR to an enrollment decision.  
  • Primary students (ages 3 – 5 yrs.) have a brief visit in the classroom AFTER enrollment is offered during the late spring months.  It is a welcome visit for the group of incoming students.  Parents are invited to stay and have a brief orientation about the start of school.
  • Toddler students (ages 15 mos. – 3 yrs.) visit the classroom AFTER enrollment is offered during the summer weeks prior to the student’s start of school. The visits are part of a “phase-in” process to help prepare them for the start of school. Parents stay with the children as they visit. 

Step 4:  Admissions Decisions

Decisions for Children’s House applicants are made by mid-December and will continue until the program is full. Elementary (K-8th grade) decisions are sent March 10 and deposits are due by April 10.

Waitlisted applications will be carried over to the following school year and applicants will not have to re-apply.
