Overview

 

Our pre-enrollment for the 2020-21 school year will be conducted on-line. Pre-enrollment for current school families begins on January 24, 2020 and ends on February 3, 2020. Due to class sizes, if pre-enrollment is not completed by February 3, 2020, your child(ren) may not have a spot guaranteed.

After you complete the online enrollment process on the School Portal (Steps 1-6 below), you will be directed to FACTS tuition website where you will pay your registration and technology fees and sign up for your tuition payment plan.  You will need your Unique Code from FACTS. (It should have been emailed to the email address you have associated with your FACTS account on Jan 24, 2020.)  Remember: you can pay either by e-check (no cost to you) or by credit card (additional fees will apply).
