THE ENROLLMENT JOURNEY
Choosing the right school for your child is about so much more than where they will spend the next few years of their education. The right school can give each student the tools to help them succeed long after graduation and the relationships to last them a lifetime.
The best way to get a feel for our school culture is by coming in for a tour. You’ll have the opportunity to see our beautiful 180-acre picturesque campus and learn about all our academic and extracurricular opportunities.
We’ll sit down to hear about your family and see where your student is at academically. Your student will even be given the opportunity to shadow and experience what a day at school feels like!
The last step is simple. Once we both decide we are a good fit for each other we will get your student enrolled and ready for their first day!
