Submit your application and fee to get started. From there we'll guide you through a cognitive assessment, a welcome chat with our founder and a meeting with our head of school, and a student discovery visit — then share our admission decision. You'll see exactly where things stand the whole way on your application status page.
Tuition is $36,000 per year — an investment in extraordinary teacher-to-scholar ratios, nationally recognized leadership, and a curriculum built for gifted minds.
We believe every gifted child who would thrive here should have the chance to, regardless of family finances. Financial aid is available and never affects admission. To apply, create an account with School and Student Services (SSS) using partner code 201329.
A cognitive assessment is a required part of the application. Our primary criterion is a Full-Scale IQ (or GAI) of 130 or above on the WISC-V (ages 6+) or WPPSI-IV (under 6). We also welcome an alternative pathway for students whose strengths a single IQ score may not fully capture.
