How to Apply
The Little School welcomes children and families who are aligned with the school's mission and values. Our admissions process is designed to provide families with a variety of opportunities to learn about our educational program. We want to help you determine if your child will thrive in our dynamic, hands-on and social learning environment. Developing a strong partnership between our families and the school is key to the success of our program.
The official ontime admission process runs from October to March before your child will start in the fall.
