NEW FAMILY OPEN ENROLLMENT BEGINS DEC. 2, 2025 at 8 AM

Our Admissions website is designed to make the application process as efficient as possible using our online application system. We require families to apply online and submit the $150 non-refundable application fee as it simplifies submission and provides parents a tool for tracking their progress. PLEASE NOTE: You will need to submit an online application from a computer and “allow pop-ups.” The application form is not cellular/mobile-friendly.
