LET’S BEGIN
Every journey starts with a hello.
We’d love to learn about your child, answer your questions and help you explore the right school.
BEFORE YOU APPLY
From a conversation to a school visit.
For local families
Contact the school, arrange a meeting or tour and discuss your child’s needs. The published enrollment process then moves to the application, assessment or interview, and an admission decision.
For international families
The published process begins with an international admissions package, school review and a family interview. If an offer is made, the school provides the next enrollment steps and relevant documents. Ask for the current checklist and payment terms before making arrangements.
Meet us before deciding
A visit is an opportunity to see classrooms, speak with the principal and discuss educational goals. Prospective secondary students can ask about a school-day visit.
Tuition and fees
Review the current published schedule for the relevant program. Montessori and elementary fees, secondary tuition and international accommodation need to be distinguished.
A conversation, at your pace.
Share a little about your family and the school stage you’re exploring. Your enquiry will open in your email app, ready for you to review and send.
