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 admission process for the 2026-27 school year begins in October 2025.
If you are interested in applying for the 2025-26, the regular application season is over, but we may have a few openings so you can still apply to be in the waitpool.
