Application Steps

  • Once you have decided you would like to move forward with an application for your child(ren), you may do so via FACTS.

    In addition to the application, we will request additional supplemental paperwork as applicable: IEP/504 plans, transcripts, evaluations, and a letter of reference.

  • Applications received during the school year will be asked to schedule a 1-2 day class visit within 2 weeks of applying.

  • An admission decision will be shared via email within 1 week of the completion of your class visit.

 

Enrollment Steps

  • Once admitted, families will be invited to fill out the enrollment packet via FACTS. This will include things such as: physicals, immunization or exemption records, proof of eye and dental visits and any medication/health plans.

    This is also when families earning less than $150,000/year will get the opportunity to apply for tuition assistance. New families will get a response to their FIT application between April 1-May 1 for the fall semester.

    All families will have until May 15 to accept or decline the offer of admission for Fall 2025.

  • We encourage families to join us at the start of the year/semester, but we understand that there are circumstances that require a child to start mid-term (moving, transferring schools, illness, etc). If that’s the case, we will work with each family to establish a start date that works for the child and our faculty.

  • Families can review the supply list here. Note that we do need the child to have all supplies available on their first day of school.
