Criteria
The Admission Committee, composed of faculty and administrators, reviews the information gathered in the admission process and evaluates each prospective student in the following areas:
  • Academic achievement, readiness, and aptitude
  • Social-emotional development
  • Interests, talents, and extracurricular achievements
  • Family cooperation with the school to meet the student’s needs and the ability of the school to meet the needs of the child.
