3. Application
After attending a Virtual Tour and you wish to apply, we will email you a LSA Application Form. There is a non-refundable $125 application fee to be placed on our current wait list ($75 for each additional child). The non-refundable application fee will be applied toward your Program Fee once a spot is offered.
4. Notification
LSA will notify you via email once your application and fee has been received. You will then be placed on our wait list.
Current families begin enrolling for the next school year starting January 15. Beginning February 1, any remaining spots will be offered to families on the waitlist. If we have openings throughout the year, we also pull from our waitlist.
We work to create a balanced classroom of gender, age, and ethnic origin. Therefore, order on the waitlist does not necessarily determine order of placement, we also take in consideration the current demographics of the class. For example, it is not ideal to have a class with 10 boys and 2 girls.
5. School Visit
When space becomes available for your child and prior to acceptance, your family will be invited for a school visit. At this time, the LSA director will meet one-on-one with the family to make sure we are the best fit for your family. The child will also get to meet an LSA teacher and explore the environment.
6. Acceptance
Following the interview, a notification of acceptance will be sent via email. If you are accepted into LSA, you will have 1 week to confirm acceptance and pay the Program Fee and 1 month tuition deposit (applied to your last month at LSA).
7. Congratulations! You are Enrolled!
A child is considered enrolled once the Program Fee and 1 month tuition deposit is paid. Congratulations and welcome to the LSA family!
