Teacher Evaluation

Applicants for Kindergarten must submit a completed Primary Teacher Evaluation Form. Applicants for Grade 1 and above are required to submit an Elementary Teacher Evaluation Form. Parents or guardians should provide the appropriate form to their child’s current teacher for completion. 

Student Records Request

Applicants to grades 1 and above are required to submit prior school records. Please download the Records Request Form and submit it to your child's current school.

In-Person Event

Parents/guardians are required to attend at least one in-person admissions event. You can choose a Campus Tour or Monday Morning Experience. View the Admissions Events Calendar here!

Student Classroom Visit

All Kindergarten applicants are required to participate in a group visit on Saturday, February 28, 2026. This visit is specially designed for our faculty to engage with the children as they experience a simulation of a day in Kindergarten and socialize with potential classmates. While the children participate, we provide a comfortable space for parents and guardians nearby.

 

Applicants to grades 1 and above will be invited to schedule their individual visits on a rolling basis, typically starting in January, once we have received their application and teacher evaluation.

Interview

Parents/guardians will be invited to participate in a 30-minute meeting with our Head of School. These appointments are scheduled to take place once the Student Classroom Visit has been completed.
