Enrollment Information
Step 1: Complete & submit this online enrollment request.
*If you require financial aid, please email me your most recent tax return (the first page of your 1040 form, redacted SSNs are ok) within 3 days of submitting your request.*
Step 2: Once we receive & process your enrollment request (and financial info for those applying for financial aid), we will send out an enrollment application unique to your family to fill out. If the link doesn’t work when you receive the email, try opening the link in an incognito/private browser tab (this has solved the issue for families in the past).
Step 3: At the end of the application process, you will be asked to pay the program deposit as well as sign-up for Tuition Auto Pay (TAP). You have the choice of linking your bank account (ACH) or a credit card. Please note that there is a 2.5% processing fee applied to the monthly tuition for debit/credit card payments. There is no fee for using ACH. Moving forward, tuition will be automatically charged to your saved payment option on the first of every month.
Step 4: Once your application is completed (forms, program deposit, TAP), you will be all set to start on the first day of school!
