• Step 2: Apply Online

  Use this link to access our online application system. Please submit a separate application for each child. Be sure to select the correct school year when you begin your application. Please note there is an application fee of $100 due at the time of submission.

• Step 3: Send Supplemental Materials

  Your application will be complete when we have received your child's school records and a teacher recommendation. We will send you the necessary forms electronically once your application has been received.

• Step 4: Connect with Our Teachers

  For grade school applicants, once your application is complete, we’ll coordinate with you to schedule a conversation with the appropriate class teacher. We’ll also arrange a classroom visit for your child, typically lasting three to five days, so they can experience the rhythm and feel of the class.
  
  

  Early Childhood families are invited to an EC Family Visit—a relaxed group session in one of our classrooms. While children play and explore, parents sit down with our teachers to ask questions and learn more about the program. These visits, which include a few families at a time, are not interviews but a warm opportunity for connection.
  
  

  This provides us all with an opportunity to get to know each other better and make sure Cedarwood is an excellent fit for your family! If space is not available in the class to which you have applied, we will be in touch about our waiting pool.

• Step 5: Enroll

  After your student’s visit and your conversation with our teacher(s) you will receive an admissions decision. If your student is offered a spot at Cedarwood you will be asked to submit their registration, along with a $500 tuition deposit to secure your child’s place in the class. Tuition contracts are due at the same time, with the first payment scheduled for June each year. Tuition contracts offer several payment plans, including one, two, four or ten installments.
