Questions for admissions

The dated sources on this profile are a starting point. Current openings, application deadlines, visit options, and the support available for your child still need confirmation from admissions.

  • Are there openings for my child’s grade and intended start date?
  • Which campus and school-day schedule apply to this grade?
  • What application steps, documents, and deadlines apply, and when will we receive a decision?
  • Can we tour the campus or arrange a student visit before making a commitment?
  • What learning support is available, and what does it cost?
  • What is the full cost after confirmed aid and any voucher award?
  • Which deposits are refundable, and when are payments due?
