How to apply

Four steps, all of them online.

You can do the whole thing from a phone. Nothing has to be printed, posted, or dropped off.

  1. Apply

    Open an application and fill it in. You do not need an account to start — one is created for you once staff review it.

  2. Send documents

    Upload what the application asks for and sign consents from your phone. The application shows you what is still missing.

  3. Talk to a counselor

    A counselor reads your application and gets in touch to arrange an interview.

  4. Get a class

    If your child is accepted, you are told which campus and which class they have been placed in.
