It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. To properly meet the needs of your child, we require written documentation if he or she has any medical issue or special need (i.e., allergies, a diagnosed or suspected psychological or developmental difference, learning challenges, etc.). As a condition of enrollment, you must disclose this information.

    If your child has a known or suspected developmental isuse or special need or disability, we will conduct an individualized assessment of your child in order to determine whether a) we possess the requisite experise and resources to provide for the best interests of your child; b) the child may pose a health or safety threat to himself or herself or others at the school; or c) admiting the child requires a fundamental alateration of our program.
