Grades Admission Process
In the early grades (1st-5th) the child experiences the world through wonder and imagination. The intellect is developing but the thinking is pictorial, dramatic, and alive with fantasy. During the middle years (6th-8th), analytical, observational, and critical thinking skills begin to flower. Cybercivis is introduced in these years.
Applications should be received by March 31st for priority September enrollment.
Applications received after August 1st may not be considered for a first day of school start date.
