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:

For the 2027-2028 school year, Evergreen's main entry points will be preschool and kindergarten. In addition, we also welcome several new students to our middle school in 6th grade.  In all 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. We do not admit new students for 8th grade. 

For applicants applying to preschool, prekindergarten, and kindergarten, children must meet the following minimum age requirements by August 31, 2027:

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

Exceptions will not be made to the above ages/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 their next sequential grade. If you are considering having your student repeat or skip a grade, please reach out to our team. 

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

Applications open in early September each year, with a mid-January deadline for students to start school the following fall. We do not accept applications for mid-year enrollment. Learn more about the application process.
