On selected Saturday mornings, a small group of applicants joins us for an informal classroom visit. These sessions allow our faculty to interact with the children and assess their developmental readiness for our school. Playdates are approximately one and a half hours and are scheduled after the application is submitted.

The individual assessment is a one-on-one play-based assessment that allows a member of the Admission Office to become acquainted with each applicant. It takes place during the school day and will be scheduled after the group playdate.

Please submit the following information in order to complete the admission process:

• Teacher Evaluation Form (for Pre-k, K, and 1st grade applicants) : If your child is currently enrolled in school or daycare, please ask his/her current teacher to complete this form.
• Authority to Release Records form : Deliver to your child’s current school to request school records. (Please click here for a printable version)
• Scanned copy of child’s birth certificate
