We accept applications and offer admission decisions on a rolling basis for all programs upon availability. Please note we are a boutique school with limited spots. Admission decisions are made on a first come, first serve basis.

 

If accepted, new families will receive an enrollment agreement. You will have 10 days to review the agreement, ask any questions and submit the signed  document to secure your child's enrollment.  At the time of the submission, a deposit of 10% of the full year's tuition is required. Please note that due to limited availability, the signed agreement and deposit must be submitted no later than 2 weeks after receiving your admissions letter, to guarantee your spot for the upcoming school year.
