Deadlines for Applications
Admissions are conducted on a year-by-year basis, but we offer rolling admissions, allowing parents to start the process at any time. New students may begin in the fall semester, spring semester, or in some cases, mid session.

First Semester: Complete applications by the end of June.
Second Semester: Complete applications by the end of October.

Criteria
Parents of potential students must provide evidence of high ability in at least one academic area, showing that the student is performing at least one year above their chronological age in that subject.

Our program is for advanced, gifted, and highly able students, who make up the majority of our student body. We also accept some twice-exceptional students. They are also an important part of our community.

Support and Special Needs
We have a volunteer certified School Counselor and certified Special Needs advisor who can assist with certain issues. While we offer extensive differentiation and flexibility, we are not equipped to provide all direct special services that twice-exceptional students may require.

Special Needs Notification:
Parents must inform the Chief Academic Officer about their child’s special needs as soon as possible. We will collaborate with parents to make necessary accommodations and be transparent about any limitations in meeting specific needs. Some needs might be addressed with external support provided by the parents, allowing the student to thrive in our program. However, some needs might exceed our capacity even with outside support. We are committed to honest communication with families throughout the admission process and during the school year.

Placement and Progress
We do not require a specific IQ score but need evidence that our program suits the potential student. Students are placed in classes based on readiness and prior knowledge, resulting in multi-age classes. Progress is based on demonstrated mastery of subject matter, with a minimum requirement of 80% mastery to advance to the next level.
