Although we will accept applications after this date, we cannot guarantee that they will be considered in the first round. We begin receiving applications the day after Labor Day of the year preceding enrollment.

    No. The only requirement is that you fill out and submit an application with the $50 non-refundable application fee.

    Open Houses are not required but they are suggested as an excellent way to find out more about our school. There are several Open Houses scheduled in October and November. Please check our main Admissions page for the most up-to-date list of available dates. Spaces are limited, so we recommend that you sign up early.
