Open House
Our Annual Open House takes place each October, offering prospective families the opportunity to experience our academic community firsthand. The application process for the following school year begins during this time, with Open House attendees able to submit their applications immediately following the event. Applications then become available to all interested families following our Open House. We do not hold a Spring Open House.
