Parent Considerations

[‘Highly selective admission process with extensive application requirements including evaluations and interviews’, ‘Limited rating data (only 1 review) makes it difficult to assess consistent quality’, ‘No counselor ratio information provided, which is important for safety and individual attention’, ‘Rigorous application process may indicate academic pressure or high expectations’, ‘Visit day and dean meeting requirements suggest significant time investment for admission’, ‘May be better suited for academically motivated children given the evaluation requirements’]
