School Around Us

 

  1. ✤Contact: An interested family speaks with the Enrollment Coordinator and receives information about the school. After reviewing this information, the interested family contacts the Enrollment Coordinator again to ask questions, schedule a tour, and ultimately to set up a visit. There is a $20 application fee.


  1. ✤Visit: A prospective student must visit the school for a minimum of one day and a maximum of three days.


  1. ✤Parent Meeting: Following a successful student visit, the parents must attend at least one parent meeting. These meetings are held the first and third Wednesday evenings of each month between 5:30pm and 8:00pm. Notify the Enrollment Coordinator as to which meeting you plan to attend before attending.


  1. ✤Formal Application: Written applications can be downloaded here or received through the Enrollment Coordinator.  Students wishing to join the older group may be required to complete a written application to the school.


  1. ✤Dialogue: Following a parent meeting, the Enrollment Coordinator can schedule a dialogue between the family and the current parents. This is an informal, small group meeting to share what is expected of new parents, and to answer questions about the school program, operation, budget, etc. This usually lasts 1-2 hours. Following the dialogue, the enrollment person will ask the parent body to accept a prospective family. This decision is made in a parent meeting with teachers involved.


  1. ✤References: The prospective family is asked to provide the Enrollment Coordinator with three references, two to speak to the character of the family and one to speak to the educational experience and level of the child.  The Enrollment Coordinator will call the references and report the general results to the parent body.


  1. ✤Acceptance and Commitment: The Enrollment Coordinator contacts the prospective family with an acceptance. Following this contact, the prospective family has 14 days to send a deposit of first month’s tuition and a signed contract to the school Treasurer.
