Lower School Admissions
We are accepting applications for limited spaces available in some grades.
Please call 510-223-3570 for more information.
Once a school tour and/or open house has been attended,
parents/guardians submit an application, and an interview is scheduled.
The school's educational philosophy and expectations are discussed with
the parents. Children applying to grades two through eight usually visit
their prospective classes for three to five days. A fee is charged for
this visit. Confidential Teacher Recommendation Forms are requested for students entering
Grades 1-8 as are student reports or transcripts.
