All applicant are scheduled for classroom visits and participate in regular class learning activities. During these pre-admission class visits, the teachers are asked to evaluate each applicant's physical, social, and emotional readiness for success in a structured environment. Former teacher recommendations are also helpful insights in the admissions acceptance process. The admissions evaluation includes standardized testing of academic abilities. An applicant's visit and academic testing are done by appointment.
All parents meet with the headmaster during the admissions process.
The tuition does not cover the cost of before and after school day care, over night field trips in the middle school, and the optional hot lunch program. The school wishes to admit students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds and to help reach that goal, offers a need based Financial Aid program. Although families may apply for aid concurrently with their admission application, the admission process is in no way related to the ability to pay. Families applying for financial aid are asked to complete a confidential statement of their current financial circumstances and submit it, along with their most recent federal income tax return, to the Private School Aid Service, Lakewood, Ohio. The Service then provides the school with information about the family's ability to pay our tuition.
