Step 1: Get in touch

Step 2: Visit the school
A visit is a morning in a class. Your child joins the day while you talk with the head of school. Nothing is tested.

Step 3: Apply
After the visit, a short application asks about your family and what helps your child. Records are shared privately, and only if you wish.
