VISIT WITH PRINCIPAL

Prospective families are required to meet with Principal Maureen Berg.  This is an opportunity to review your student(s) application, learn more about your student(s) learning profile and answer any additional questions.

This meeting is coordinated by the Admissions Director as a virtual meeting to help parents attend with busy work schedules.  The typical meeting length is 20-25 minutes, with a mutually agreed-upon timeframe.

SHADOW DAY

Students applying for grades 2nd and above complete a shadow day as the final step in our admissions process.

Students shadowing are assigned a buddy for the day in a classroom of their current grade (not application grade). 

Students are asked to complete an informal assessment as part of their shadow day. This includes a math sheet and a writing sample (writing prompts will be provided).  Assessments are used to learn more about a student's learning profile in addition to their report cards and standardized test scores.
