Application Process
The admissions process is designed to help you learn as much as possible about our school, and at the same time help us become better acquainted with you and your child. Before you schedule a visit, please take some time to think about questions that are most important to you regarding your child. This is the perfect opportunity to ask specific questions pertaining to your child. We believe that the best time to see our school in action is when classes are in session. This will give you the opportunity to see our school when it is brimming with the energy of our students. However, our admissions office is available in July and August if you want to schedule a visit during the summer.
After having your school tour and/or attending an open house you will be provided with an admissions package that includes all of the paperwork and forms required to move forward with the application process.
While we welcome applications from qualified candidates throughout the year, and there is no set admission deadline, due to the limited availability of space at each grade level, we encourage all applicants to apply as early as possible – preferably one year in advance of planned enrollment.
Step 1
Make an appointment to visit our campus, have a complete tour and see our classrooms in session. Children are always welcome (and encouraged) on our tours.
Step 2
The next step will be to complete our online application, a non-refundable $250 application fee must accompany the online application.

Step 3
The applicant portfolio will be shared with our admissions team and a call from the Admissions Office will follow receipt of the application to discuss and collect any required supporting documentation. Parents will receive a tour of the campus. The applicant may also complete an interview with the Director of Admissions.
We carefully review the applicant portfolio as a team and work to make the best decision on admission bases on a student’s strengths, needs, and the strengths and needs of the cohort. The applicant will then receive a timely notification of the admissions decision from the Director of Admissions. When the applicant is offered a placement at TOS, a Tuition Agreement will be issued. To secure the placement space, all forms must be completed and returned in a timely manner and include the $800 registration deposit.
