How admission works

From the school’s enrollment page and enrollment FAQs:

  • Open enrollment for 2027-28 runs Nov. 3 to Dec. 4, 2026. Every application filed in that window has the same chance, whatever day it comes in.
  • If a grade has more applicants than seats, a computer-generated random lottery decides. Results are published Dec. 11, 2026, by email and on the family’s SchoolMint dashboard.
  • Families offered a seat accept it within seven calendar days and finish registration online.
  • List brothers and sisters on each application to get sibling preference.
  • After open enrollment, applications are still accepted; children go on a waitlist if a grade is full.
  • Current students keep their seats if the family files an Intent to Return by the deadline.
