How to enroll
Families who apply in the winter have time to visit more than once.
- 01
Step 1: Get in touch
Call the office or write to us. The head of school or the office manager answers within a school day or two.
- 02
Step 2: Visit the school
Come to an open house or book a visit day. You sit in on a morning in the room, see the materials and talk with a guide. Children are welcome to come along.
- 03
Step 3: Apply
Applications open in November for the fall. The application asks about your family and what you hope school will be, and a guide spends a short, friendly time with the child.

Step 4: Hear from us
Decisions go out in March, by letter and by phone. If a room is full, we offer a place on the waitlist.
- 05
Step 5: Register
Sign the enrollment agreement and make the first payment to hold the place. The office then asks privately for the forms we collect.
