Return the Application for Admissions and scheduled an interview.
Families and children should attend the interview.
Submit school records and Financial Aid info to the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) School and Student Services for Financial Aid (SSS).
Sibling applications for Cooper School families are accepted beginning September 1. All other applications are accepted beginning October 1. The deadline for Kindergarten/Grade 1 is February 15. The core class will be established by March 5. When the core class has been established, all other applicants will be placed in a wait pool. Any applications received after the application deadline will be placed in the wait pool.
Once accepted, applicants need to accept or decline the offer by the date stated in the acceptance letter. An acceptance should include an enrollment fee.
If families wish to be considered for financial aid, this consideration will begin after they have responded to their letter of acceptance. Families accepting a place, but seeking financial aid may defer the enrollment fee.
