Admissions

Children who show early academic aptitude, creative thinking and intellectual curiosity do well at Evergreen. Usually referred to as gifted or highly capable, these children may excel in a broad range of areas, such as early acquisition of language, strong sense of spatial relationships, advanced comprehension and the ability to process information quickly or in complex ways. Characteristics of highly capable children include:

Preschool, Prekindergarten, Kindergarten and 1st Grade are when many students begin at Evergreen. In addition, 6th Grade is also a notable entry point for our middle school. In other grades, spaces are limited and based on attrition, but we generally welcome a few new students at most grade levels. If you feel that Evergreen might be the right match for your child, we encourage you to submit an application.  

For applicants applying to preschool, children must meet the following minimum age requirements by July 31:

• Preschool: Three years old

For applicants to prekindergarten and kindergarten, children must meet the following minimum age requirements by August 31:  

• Prekindergarten: Four years old
• Kindergarten: Five years old

Exceptions will not be made to the age/cut-off date policy. 

For applicants to 1st grade and above, there is no birthday cut-off date. However, we expect applicants to apply for the next sequential grade. If you are considering repeating or skipping a grade, please reach out to our team. 

Please note: Students must be toilet trained prior to attending school in the fall.

Applications open every year after Labor Day in early September, and the deadline is in mid-January, for students to start school the following fall. We do not accept applications for mid-year enrollment. Learn more about the application process.
