STEP 2

Request your application packet

Please note: After December 17th, we will no longer be able to mail applications and you will have to print applications from our website (see Step 4).

STEP 3

Attend a family information meeting

This is a required step in the admission process. Families must attend one meeting with their student. It is best if the parent/guardian who will be leading the admission process attends, although all family members are welcome. The meetings are typically one hour long and are held between October and December.
