Because our school year is year round, we allow new student admissions at any term when we have space or gather enough students to start a new class. Our “Official Start of the School Year” is our Summer Term. Go to our school calendar for actual dates.
Application submission times for each term are as follows:
Summer Term: This term begins the new school year and typically starts in July. In our initial year, we begin a short summer term in August. New Student applications for the “start of the new school year” received from February 15 – March 15 (or the first Monday after the 15th if it falls on a weekend) are treated as arriving at the same time. They will be accepted in priority order[1]. After March 15, acceptance is first come first served through the first week of the term or until all spaces are filled whichever comes first. Students will be added to an ongoing session past the first week only under unusual circumstances and upon available space. However, since students may enter our programs at the start of any term, an application submitted in February or March, could also be slotted for a "Spring Start" which occurs in April. Scroll down to see the Spring Term below.
Fall Term: Term begins in October. New Student applications for this term are accepted July 15 (or the first Monday after the 15th if it falls on a weekend) – August 15 and are treated as arriving at the same time.
