ADMISSIONS PROCESS
1
LEARN ABOUT HERITAGE
Read about Heritage School (Grades 1-8) on this website, including the current policies and FAQs. Our program is unique and runs differently from traditional schools in our area.
2
SUBMIT AN INQUIRY
Use our Inquiry Form to submit an inquiry if you'd like further information, have specific questions for our teachers, or would like to begin the admission process. Our office manager will then reach out and schedule a call with you and our school director to talk further. If there is interest on both sides, a parent visit is scheduled.
3
PARENT VISIT
Parents can schedule a morning visit (8:30-11:30 am). In the typical admissions cycle, this can begin as early as October for the following school year. During this visit, both parents tour the building and observe Morning Meeting, math groups, break, and part of study. As children write in journals during Morning Meeting, parents meet with teachers privately, so faculty can learn about the child and answer questions. In order to minimize interruptions for our teacher and students, each family is offered one visit day.
4
APPLY
If there is interest by both parties to move forward, parents submit an Admissions Application with a $50 application fee. Submission of the application prompts coordination between faculty and parents to schedule a Student Visit. These visits might begin as early as February for the coming school year.
5
STUDENT VISIT
The student participates in a full (or half day) at Heritage, allowing for engagement in group activities, as well as one-on-one assessment. Following this visit, the Coordinator will contact the family to further discuss admission and timing of decisions based on the calendar year.
6
DECISION & ENROLLMENT
If both parents and Heritage teachers consider the school to be a good placement for the applicant, the child is invited to enroll. Parents complete a registration form and pay a $500 registration fee to secure their spot. Enrollment is complete when families attend a New Family Orientation in late May or early June.
The Heritage School admits students of any race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity,
national or ethnic origin, marital status, age or disability.
