Admission: Grades 1 - 8
We are so pleased you are considering our school and look forward to connecting with you. We care about relationships and believe personal connection starts when you first inquire or visit our campus. Whether you are exploring Preschool, Kindergarten, or Grade School, we want you to understand our mission and values, experience our joyful program, and know what to expect from our admission process. At our school, we know that building healthy habits and healthy rhythms takes time—and so does building relationships. We thank you for taking the time to get to know us and invite you to reach out with any questions. We are here to help every step of the way.
