FOR ADMISSION IN THE FALL SEMESTER

Enrollment begins early in February of each year.  Parents should make an appointment with Ms. Diana Petrus, principal, for an interview.  Both the parents and students are required for this interview and it is helpful to bring a copy of the grades from the current school. 

After the interview, the student will be advised on when the admission examination will be administered to a group of enrollees.  The exam itself normally takes three hours and the parents will be advised of the results within a week.  

If financial aid is required, an additional qualifiying examination (The CollegeBoard Exam) will be administered and a social specialist will visit the home to analyze the economic need.  Financial data will need to be shared with the specialist.
