What is your enrollment process?
What is your enrollment process?
Contact us to schedule a school visit and to fill out an application, if interested. Once your application is complete, if we have spots available, you must submit first month's tuition to reserve your spot, annual supply fee ($250) and a $100 application fee. These are non-refundable. You are asked to pay the first month tuition in advance because tuition payments are due one month in advance throughout the year (i.e. November's tuition is due on October 1st).

What curriculum do you use?
We do not use one specific curriculum, rather we implement a combination. Over the years, our founder has worked with multiple curriculums and pulls best practices from each. Additionally, we don't believe in tying ourselves directly to one; rather, we want to follow the interests of the children.
