Apply in 3 Steps
Now accepting applications for the 2026-27 & 2027-28 school years
-
Complete an Online Application
A non-refundable Application Fee of $140 is due per application. For students already attending a daycare or school, we will ask for a recommendation form to be filled out.
-
Admissions Interview
The Admissions Director will acknowledge receipt of your online application and subsequently arrange for a private interview with both parents and the child.
During the interview, you will meet with the Admissions Director and the School Director to determine whether the school’s values, objectives and academic expectations are right for your child.
This format will allow for plenty of questions. Depending on the age of your child, they may stay with you, join one of our classes or meet our pedagogical coordinator.
-
Notification of Decision
The Admissions Director will notify you of the decision by email.
The admission team remains at your disposition for any further questions and is looking forward to meeting with you.
