How to enroll
Most families visit twice before they decide. Nothing here has to happen in a hurry.
- 01
Step 1: Get in touch
Call the office, send a message or use the form. The principal writes back within two school days.
- 02
Step 2: Visit the school
Come to an open house, or ask the office for a morning visit: chapel, a class at work and a talk with the principal. Children are welcome.
- 03
Step 3: Apply
A short application asks about your family and what you hope for. The student then spends a morning in the class they would join.
- 04
Step 4: Hear from us
Families hear by phone within two weeks of the student's morning, and then by letter.
- 05
Step 5: Register
Families sign the enrollment agreement to hold a place, and fill in the school's forms privately through the office.
- 06
Step 6: The first day
Mid-August. Doors open at 7:45 a.m., and a teacher meets each family at the door.
