Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Visiting the School. The school is regularly available for visits. Please contact us to arrange a time. A staff member provides an explanation and tour of the school, and guests will be able to look in on classrooms to gain a sense of the lessons. This initial visit helps families understand the learning environment.
2. Decision to Enroll. A decision to enroll triggers the provision of the necessary paperwork. Please complete and submit as instructed. Our staff will provide you with more information. Staff are available to answer questions.
3. Enrollment Paperwork. We will send the required documents and an invoice via mail. Please complete and submit these by the set date, along with the necessary payment. Additional forms may be provided as needed.
4. Visiting Before Starting School. Parents/guardians of students joining at the start of the school year are invited to the orientation day. For those joining partway through the year, we will arrange a time to fit your schedule, to provide further explanation and check the paperwork. Orientation helps families meet teachers and understand classroom routines.
5. Starting School. Meeting their new classmates and teachers face-to-face. Students begin their routines with introductions to classmates and teachers. Orientation activities may precede the first day. The step marks a transition into the learning community.
