Enrollment Notification
After each applicant’s assessment, parents or guardians will be notified of the Admission Committee's decision. Our admissions office is unable to provide specific information on the committee's decision.
ACCEPTANCE
If an applicant is accepted, parents or guardians will receive a formal letter of acceptance (via email), shortly following acceptance an invoice for the registration deposit will be sent. The registration deposit must be paid by the due date stated on the invoice. Failure to meet the payment due date will result in forfeiting the applicant’s enrollment offer.
WAIT POOL
There are limited spaces available each academic year. Admissible applicants may not be eligible for immediate enrollment and will be placed in the wait pool. Parents or guardians will be notified if an opening becomes available for the applicant.
Please note that applicants in the wait pool DO NOT carry over to the next school year. Applicants who are on the waitlist will be notified when they can reapply for the next school year. It is important to note that if an applicant is waitlisted, parents or guardians should explore other educational alternatives in case a space does not become available.
DENIED
If an applicant is denied admission, it is based on the Admissions Committee's assessment. Denied applicants may reapply for the next school year.
