Admissions

A child’s educational path is one of the biggest decisions a family makes. At Polaris, our admissions process is meant to help facilitate the decision-making process and ensure that Polaris is the right school for your child and your family. We strive to provide you with all the information needed to make an informed decision and welcome your questions. Below you will find a detailed admission's process, application form and fee schedule. Our admissions application was created to provide us with enough information to see if we can meet the needs of your child and your expectations. It is just as important for us to know who you are, as it is for you to know who we are.

We encourage families to browse through our website, and come to one of our upcoming Open Houses. Additionally, there are various workshops and lectures throughout the year focusing on our educational approach. If you have the time, there is also a link to a video below where two parents talk about their experiences at Polaris. You may also contact us to arrange for an individual tour, and we are always here to answer any questions you may have.

For the 2025-2026 school year we are excited to continue to offer French, music, and handwork classes which will complement the morning lessons. The grade school children will have the opportunity to take part in our unique Nature Connect program, which is an urban outdoor program interwoven into the week. Additionally, the school looks forward to various joint projects which will take us outside, exploring the world of gardening and immersing ourselves in nature.
