Grade Level Placement
No student will be placed in a grade level higher than that of children who are in his/her chronological age range.
Admission Testing
Students transferring from another private school or public schools will be evaluated by a member of the Academic Advisory Board. The Academic Advisory Board member will then meet with the parents and determine the class that the student can most effectively function in.

Enrollment Forms
Enrollment forms may be picked up at the school office Monday through Friday from 8 A.M. until 4:30 P.M.
Enrollment Period
Enrollment for the new year will begin in April of that year. Early enrollment allows us to adequately plan for the upcoming school year. Preschool classes have a specified number of spaces and they are filled on a “first come first served basis.” We do accept new students and transfer students throughout the year.
Re-enrollment
Students previously enrolled will only need to fill out a new enrollment form for the upcoming year. Preschool students will need to turn in a new enrollment form and updated immunization records. Students with outstanding balances on accounts will not be re-enrolled until the balance is paid in full.
