Admissions Events
Attending one of our admissions events is the best way to get to know our program! We offer in-person and virtual open houses each fall for parents. During an open house you will learn more about our program and teaching philosophy through an introductory talk from our founder, Olivia Ramsey. Afterwards, site directors will facilitate a question and answer session followed by a short campus tour for in-person visits.
The application deadline for the 2025–26 school year has passed, however families are welcome to apply after the initial deadlines. Your application will automatically be included in our rolling admissions cycle for any open seats.
Limited seats are still available for 2024–25; please email the Admissions Team for details.
We look forward to meeting you soon.
Merci, et à bientôt!
