ADMISSIONS PROCESS

At The SAE School, we believe the admissions process should feel less like a formality and more like the beginning of your family’s journey with us. It all starts with a visit to our campus, where you’ll experience firsthand the energy, warmth, and creativity that make our community so special.

From there, families are invited to complete an application and share information that helps us get to know your child as both a learner and an individual. Our admissions team then carefully reviews each application, and when appropriate, schedules evaluations to ensure the best classroom fit. For our youngest learners in preschool, we offer a dedicated evaluation morning with our caring staff, giving your child a chance to explore, engage, and shine.

Every step of the process is designed to be thoughtful, supportive, and reflective of our commitment to pairing each student with the right environment for growth. We can’t wait to welcome you and your child into our school family.
