Acceptance policy

Note: This policy guides our admissions selection process when the number of applicants exceeds the number of spaces available.

All applicants who apply by January 31^st are included in the first round of the admissions process (i.e., first come, first considered). Every child and family goes through an evaluation process to ensure that the applicant is ready for a full day of school and that the parents understand and are committed to Touchstone's philosophy. In addition, preschool teachers are called for an objective evaluation. The preschool teacher's evaluation is to determine the applicant's readiness for a full day of school - not to determine whether the child knows his or her letters, etc.

All applicants who are deemed ready and committed are selected in the following order:

1. Siblings of current Touchstone students

2. Children of Touchstone faculty

3. All other applicants (these applicants will be selected by lottery, ensuring a gender balance)

Those who apply after January 31^st enter a second round of the admissions process and go through the same process as outlined above, provided there are still spaces available.
