To schedule a tour of Santa Cruz Children's School use the link below. We also host an Open House in January each year.
Prospective students are welcome and encouraged to attend the tour and explore the school!
All prospective students must meet the director and all students entering 2nd through 6th grade will, if possible, attend a shadow visit before being considered for admission. During a shadow day, your child will take part in all classroom activities.
K-1 students should meet with Jessica following their tour either by scheduling an individual meeting or attending our winter Open House.
Once you have toured the school and met with the director(s), complete and submit the online application which includes the following:
The priority admissions deadline for the upcoming school year is March 1st*. Applications received before this date will be given priority consideration for enrollment/waitlist placement.
* We will switch to rolling admissions for applications submitted after the deadline to fill any remaining open spots.
Submission of the SCCS application does not guarantee enrollment.
Applications for reduced tuition must be submitted before March 1st to be considered for the following school year and can be requested via the online application form. Returning students and siblings are given priority consideration for available tuition assistance.
All applications received by March 1st will be reviewed and considered following a school visit/shadow day.
Applicants who meet the March 1st deadline will receive a notification of the admission decision by mid-March. Upon acceptance, an offer of enrollment will be sent to you via email. If space is not available and your student has met the admissions criteria, your application will be kept active on the waitlist for the school year and you will be notified if space becomes available.
If an offer of enrollment is made, respond and submit the following within 5 business days of receipt or the space may be forfeit and offered to a student on the waitlist:
