Admissions

Families who express interest in the rigorous full-year academic program at Morningside Academy will initially be interviewed by telephone. We will ask questions about your child's current performance in school and of course, answer your questions as well. Once we have sent you a packet of information including general information, professional journal articles and book chapters about our school, we offer individualized tours of the classroom.

If we think that your child would benefit from our program, we typically have the student visit for a half day that consists of a snapshot assessment, a morning of classes, lunch and recess. Like all students currently attending our school, your child would participate and receive a Daily Report Card. We end the visit with a meeting with you, your child, and one of our directors. Once our administrator and the teacher have had a chance to discuss your child's participation, we can confidently discuss enrollment.

There is no application packet required prior to admissions. If a suitable opening is available and an applicant is well suited to the structure, frequent feedback, and positive support offered at our school, that's all there is to it! We have an open enrollment process throughout the year should openings occur.

Students entering the fall program will be asked to attend a minimum of two weeks of the summer program. In addition, deposits for the fall program will be collected at the time of enrollment. If you would like to visit, contact Dawn Oliver, Director of Development/Admissions, at (206) 709-9500 or dawn@morningsideacademy.org.
