Kindergarten – Grade 3

Kindergarten Applicants

Developing a love for learning – whether through play, personalization, or exploration – along with becoming respectful, empathetic, collaborative members of a larger community is at the heart of a place where teachers learn alongside students every day and where love and kindness are valued. Each year we welcome 150 new students for the incoming Kindergarten class across six classrooms.

Application Deadline Is October 15, 2023

Applications for Kindergarten are no longer being accepted.
