The school provides student support services to meet the diverse needs of its learners. This includes English language support and a commitment to fostering belonging and personal growth for all students within an inclusive environment.

The admissions process involves five steps: submitting an online application with supporting documents, paying an application fee, completing a language survey, providing school confidential recommendations, and undergoing a review and decision process. The school evaluates applicants based on academic standing, recommendations, learning needs, alignment with school values, and performance on admissions screening examinations. Campus visits and tours are available by appointment, and the school prioritizes the admission of U.S. nationals.

The school operates on an annual academic calendar. Families are encouraged to consult the school's website for the most current academic year calendar to plan for important dates and school breaks.
