How does the enrollment process work?

​

• We randomly sort all September to December applications; we consider these before later applications.

• The school admin. team asks current MDS families about their preferences for the next school year.

 

The following groups will be offered placement, in this order:

• Currently enrolled students, continuing the following year

• Siblings of currently enrolled students

• Siblings of alumni

• Applicant pool

  • September to December applicants, randomly sorted

  • Age balance in multi-age classrooms, and gender balance in multi-age and two-year-old rooms, are considered when offering placement

If I am interested in receiving financial aid or tuition assistance what should I do?  

​

The option to apply for tuition assistance is available to you once the MDS application is complete. If you choose to apply for tuition assistance at a later date, not directly after you have submitted your application, you can re-visit www.mytads.com before the deadline and apply for

tuition assistance.

​

Do I need to reapply if I already applied for the previous school year but was not offered a spot?

​

Yes. If you were not offered a spot for a particular school year and wish to re-apply for the following school year, you must submit another application, beginning on September 1st.

Does my younger child qualify for sibling/alumni preference if my older child has already moved on to another school?
