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, and kindergarten are when many students begin at Evergreen, and we also add a handful of new spaces in 1st grade each year. 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 our early childhood program, children must meet the following minimum age requirements by August 31:  

Preschool: Three years old*
Prekindergarten: Four years old
Kindergarten: Five years old

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

*Students must be toilet trained prior to attending school in the fall.

Applications open every year on September 1 and the deadline is in mid-January, for students to start school the following fall. There are no mid-year admissions. Learn more about the application process.
