Our re-enrollment process has been positive. First, we introduced online enrollment. This web-based advancement in the admissions process confirmed our commitment to being a leader in the integration of technology.
Second, we have experienced a high level of re-enrollment. Within two weeks after the end of our priority re-enrollment period for returning students, we completed the process for 85% of all potential re-enrolling students. Further, an additional 55 students are in some stage of completing their application and making their payment, which soon should bring the re-enrollment percentage to 90%. Approximately 70 other students are in the decision-making phase of the re-enrollment process.
Significantly, we have received 69 applications together with down payments from new students. This week we will begin testing and evaluating these students for enrollment. This number of new applications represents over a 100% increase in new applications that we had at this same time one year ago. Interest in the school is high with daily phone calls, campus tours, and mailing of admission information.
The final Open House of the spring will be held this Sunday afternoon, February 26, from 2-4 PM. Teachers, admissions personnel, and administrators will be present to talk with families about enrolling their children and what to expect in next year’s classes. Tours of the campus will be available together with light refreshments. There is no better time to get to know the school than at our Open House. Moreover, potential students can schedule visitation days to spend a day or less visiting the school with a current student, attending classes, and meeting faculty and other students.
You may come and go or stay as long as you wish at the Open House. For more information, please contact our Admissions Director Sheila Sheron at 662.349.5127.
