Admissions

Choosing a school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Thinking about a school involves more than considering next year’s experience; the elementary years can determine a lifetime attitude toward learning and one’s place in the world. Many schools have the same ambitions for children and teach similar curricula. The only way to genuinely distinguish between schools to determine if one might be right for your child is to visit while classes are in session. Five minutes in our hallways will give you a better feel for our culture than all the words on this website.

Come talk to us about your child. Experience for yourself through an individual tour or an open house our purposeful, structured and personalized classroom experiences in academics, arts and athletics.
