A few reminders about the application process:
  • An Academic Release Waiver is part of the application.  Please be sure it is signed electronically within the application. A copy of this form will be sent to the applicant's current school to request seventh and first-marking period eighth-grade report cards.
  • Eighth-grade applicants must take an entrance exam to be considered for admission.  An admission application must be on file prior to taking the fall entrance exam.
  • One letter of recommendation from one of your teachers, the Principal, or the Guidance Counselor is required.  Please have the name and email of the person who will write the letter available to complete the application.
  • If a student has an IEP or 504 Plan, please include a copy with the admissions application. The Director of our Learning Center will review the Plan to ensure that we have the resources that a student will need to be successful.
  • Some eighth-grade applicants are also invited for an interview as part of the admissions process. The Admissions Office will contact these students to schedule the interview.
