• I don't think we will qualify for tuition-free PK. Is there a tuition option for PreK? ▲

  All families interested in PK should complete the registration process and attend an in-person registration event where qualification is determined. If a student does not meet one of the qualification guidelines, families will have the option to sign up for a possible tuition-based seat. These tuition-based seats are not guaranteed, and the number available won't be known until after the school year begins.

   

  After the school year begins, available tuition-based seats will be allocated based on the order of the sign up in mid- to late-September. Securing a tuition-based seat is not guaranteed and will depend on availability and the order of the sign-ups.
