What families ask us

Families visit, apply and hear back in March. The admissions page lists each step and the months it falls in. A family who comes mid-year can write to the office at any time.

Open evenings are in October and January. Visit mornings run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from October to May, and the Book a visit button at the top of any page books one.

Yes, and we ask every family to. A student spends a morning in class while a parent talks with the head of school.

The day runs from 8:15 to 3:15. It has eight blocks: arrival, humanities, math, planning time, lunch, a project, an elective and a note home. The school day page lists them.

Tuition is set for the school year. The tuition page explains how a place is held and how to ask about financial aid, and the head of school goes through it at a visit.

Each grade is one class of up to twelve students, in its own room, with thirty-six students and seven teachers on the floor.

Everyone on the floor uses the same habits: a checklist for the day, planning time, a note home. A teacher can give extra time on an assignment, and there is a quiet room for a break or a test. Tell us about your child at the visit.

Mostly not. Humanities, math and homeroom are in one room for each grade. Science and electives are in the science room and the studio, and a teacher walks students there.

Families send lunch, and we eat together in the commons. There is no uniform. Phones stay switched off in a locker until the last bell.

A note goes home every afternoon, a homeroom teacher meets each family once a term, and the office answers calls and email on school days.
