All incoming students are given an abbreviated entrance exam to assess the child’s skills. This exam usually takes 20-40 minutes depending on the grade level. The Dean of Students administers the exam.

After you complete the application process you will receive an e-mail from the Dean of Students setting up a testing time and date. When the test is completed and all paperwork has been reviewed, families will receive a call notifying  you of your child’s acceptance or non-acceptance.
