Admissions

Dear Families, 

Thank you for taking the time to explore Community School. Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most meaningful decisions you will make, and we are honored you are considering us.

Families are drawn to the warmth of our secluded campus and the nurturing environment our teachers bring to every classroom. With at least two full-time teachers in every classroom plus learning and math specialists, your child will be known, seen, and supported every step of the way.
