DATES & DEADLINES
For candidates interested in applying to our Beginner and Primary programs, our Admissions process follows a rolling timeline. When candidates have completed the mandatory steps for their application, they will be reviewed on a monthly basis. At that time, our Admissions Committee will convene to review applications and distribute admissions decisions. Unless there are current openings in these two age divisions, all candidates will be considered for admission starting the following academic year.
