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.
