The first step in the admissions process is to tour our school. You can visit during an open house or call the school and schedule a tour at a time that is convenient for you. During your visit, you will observe our classrooms, meet with our Academic Director, and have an opportunity to ask questions about the Susan Odell Taylor School, our educational philosophy and curriculum, enrichment programs, and tuition options.

Second Step: The next step is to fill out our downloadable application and mail it to us along with the application fee. Once we receive the application and fee, we will prepare a file for your child. For children entering the Susan Odell Taylor School in kindergarten through 6th grade,  a records request form and a teacher recommendation form will need to be sent to your child’s current school. This information helps us to learn about your child’s prior educational experiences. You can download your application today by clicking here.

Third Step: After you have applied, it is time to schedule a school visit. Children applying for preschool or pre-kindergarten will visit for a short time while older children will stay for a half or full day visit. It’s an exciting experience for our new students, and gives your child a chance to get to know the children and teachers, and gives us a chance to get to know your child.

Fourth Step: We strive to gain a complete understanding of your child’s unique personality, characteristics and strengths. Careful, sincere thought, and attention is given to each child’s application. When there are spaces available in a given class, acceptance letters for new students are sent out. Signed contracts are due back approximately two weeks after acceptance, in order to hold a space for the following year.

Questions Welcome: Throughout this process we encourage you to contact us with questions, thoughts or any concerns you may have. Our goal is to get to know you and your child well, while you get to know our school community. We recognize that your child’s success depends upon the partnership between your home and our school. A partnership we enjoy fostering and growing with over the course of each academic year.
