Kindergarten Enrollment 2021-22
Please help us spread the word!
We are now enrolling kindergarten students for the upcoming 2021-22 school year. Kindergarten students must be 5 years old on or before October 1, 2021. Choosing a school is a big decision for your family and we don’t take that lightly. We are thrilled to partner with you as we go through the beginning steps of your child’s education. Kindergarten is an exciting time filled with wonder and exploration. Young children have a curiosity that naturally leads to STEM. Through STEM, we have seen students excel when they have the opportunity to explore and invent.
