If not, please follow-up with your child’s current teachers/school.

Upon receipt of your completed application, the admissions office will contact you to schedule a New Student Assessment. Following the assessment, a New Student Success Consultation is scheduled with a campus administrator.

During the interview the administrator will go over school policies, philosophy and academic planning for the initial schedule of classes. Results of the assessment will be discussed, as well as any questions or concerns from both parties. Together the administrator and the parents determine the best academic plan for the student.

**At the conclusion of your Student Success Consultation, you will be asked to provide a $250 non-refundable deposit (check, cash, or credit) towards your first month’s tuition in order to secure your child’s seat.
