The
Enrollment
Process
What to Expect
Think you’d be a good fit for our community?
Great—we can’t wait to get started!
Our enrollment process is designed to be easy, accessible, and transparent. We want you to spend as much time as you need getting to know our school and asking questions about our academics, co-curriculars, student life, and service learning. That’s why we offer multiple opportunities to visit our campus, chat with students and teachers, and even sit in on classes.
Step 1: Plan a Visit to Campus
When it comes to truly getting a feel for a school, there’s no substitute for an in-person visit. Whether you attend a tour or spend a day sitting in on classes, you’ll leave with a better sense of who we are and whether you belong here.
