Arbor School follows the letter and spirit of all equal opportunity and civil rights laws.
The Arbor School of Arts & Sciences seeks students of diverse backgrounds, interests, and talents with potential for flourishing in and contributing to a creative and challenging learning community. Admission to the School depends upon appropriately mature intellectual, emotional, and social capacities. Arbor School seeks to realize its goals by admitting students who exhibit distinctive intellectual and creative potential and demonstrate a growing skill for working harmoniously with others. It is ultimately on the basis of the School's evaluation of its ability to enhance the growth of the child and the child's ability to enrich the school community that admission is granted.
An appointment to tour the School and see it in action is the first step in the admissions process. At that time, you will receive an admissions packet. Once all parts of the application have been filed, a parent meeting will be scheduled.
