CURRENT STUDENTS: To secure your student’s enrollment for next year, submit the annual student registration fee of $250.00 per student by February 29, 2024. This will ensure that your student(s) will be enrolled for the 2024-2025 school year. The registration fee increases to $350 after February 29th and $450 after March 15th. Families are encouraged to submit the registration fee early, as space is limited due to a decrease in class size and an increase in enrollment. Tuition payment plans renew each school year. On March 1st, after the first current student deadline, new students will be eligible for acceptance.

NEW STUDENTS: New students interested in enrolling should complete the application, pay the non-refundable $125 application fee and submit all supporting documents. The application for new students will open on February 1, 2024. Families are encouraged to complete the application and submit all documents early. Once capacity is met for a grade level, enrollment will close for that grade. The week of March 1st, new student applicants with complete files will be reviewed for admission. If accepted, a contract will be offered and a non-refundable $250 confirmation fee will be required. Signing the contract and submitting the non-refundable $250 confirmation fee reserves your space for the 2024-2025 school year.

Newly accepted students will have until June 1st to pay the non-refundable enrollment fee of $750 for the first student, $500 for the second student, and $250 for each additional student.
