We’ll begin with a phone conversation to learn more about your child and their educational needs. During this call, we’ll request evaluations and other relevant information to help us understand your child’s unique learning style.

Submit the Enrollment Application along with a $150 non-refundable application fee to move forward in the process.

Our admissions team will review your child’s application, formal evaluations, and teacher recommendations to begin creating a personalized learning plan tailored to their strengths and needs.

A recent psychoeducational evaluation (completed within the last three years) is an essential component of the admission process. Our Admissions Office will carefully review your child’s evaluation and guide you through each step of the process.

Depending on your child’s needs, we may also request additional documentation such as an IEP or 504 Plan, speech-language evaluation, occupational therapy evaluation, or other relevant assessments.

Within two weeks of the visit, a member of our admissions team will contact you with our decision and discuss next steps in the enrollment process.
