If any of the application procedures present difficulties for your family, please bring your concerns to our attention and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

enrollment

Students that apply will either be offered a placement or placed on the waitlist. TCS uses the following criteria for additional priority factors:

  • Current students (currently enrolled students and their siblings)

  • Siblings (children with siblings who will be attending TCS at the same time)

  • Child’s age (older children over younger children within each class unless stated otherwise)

A child will be offered a spot in the program or the waitlist based on the above criteria and available space. 

Admitted students will need to submit completed enrollment forms before they can begin. All documents and instructions are available in the Family Portal which you will be given access to once you accept an offer of admissions.

waitlist

We do not maintain waitlists for future school years but we will maintain one for the current year should openings occur after we are full. To be added to the waitlist, you must complete the application process. We will refund your application fee if we are unable to offer your child a spot before May 1st of the current school year (unless you wish to stay on the list for the next school year).

The Children's School admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of the educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and other school-administered programs.
