Your Journey Begins Here
Choosing the right school is a deeply personal decision. It’s about finding a place where your child will be known, challenged, and inspired—and where your family feels a true sense of belonging.
We encourage you to explore our campus, ask questions, and discover whether our community feels like the right fit.
“Year after year, the class became more than a group of students—it became a community. Watching the children grow up together and develop such genuine friendships has been one of the greatest gifts of our family’s experience here.”

Admissions Process
-
The best way to discover the Steiner School is to experience it firsthand.
Visit our classrooms, meet our faculty, explore our campus, and see students engaged in meaningful, joyful learning.
-
When you’re ready, complete our online application, starting by creating your FACTS account.
When the application is complete, K-12 families will be invited to fill out an optional and confidential FACTS Grant & Aid application, which can be filled out if you would like to apply for tuition assistance.
Applications open in October for the following school year. Priority deadline is January 31; later applications are considered on a rolling basis if space allows.
-
Each prospective student participates in an in-person experience designed to help students become familiar with our community while allowing our faculty to get to know them.
The experience varies by grade level:
· Preschool & Kindergarten: A morning visit where parents observe while children join in the activities.
· Grades 1-8: 1–3 full days at school, followed up with a conversation between parents and the teacher to review the visit and address any questions.
· High School: 2-3 full days at school, followed up with a conversation between your family and our admissions team.
Not in town? Whether you’re moving to the area, or applying as a National Exchange or International Student, we can discuss alternative ways to get a feel for our school.

Following the admissions process, families receive an admissions decision and information about the next steps for enrollment.
