Lower School Admissions

Applications are available when a parent attends a prospective parent tour of the school. Group tours are scheduled from late September through early December. Parents should call the school to arrange a visit. The application deadline is December 3, 2010.

Upon receipt of an application, the Director of Admissions will call to arrange a meeting between the parents and an administrator. Applicants for Grade 1 will be scheduled for a play visit. Applicants for grades 2-5 will be scheduled for a classroom visit based on potential openings in the grade.
