Step 2: Attend: Attend a tour or a parent interest night.

Step 3: Apply: Complete an application.

Step 4: Family Interview: We’ll reach out after we get your application to let you know if a spot may be open or if you’ll be added to our waiting list. We’ll set up a time for a family interview to connect and discuss enrollment.

Step 5: Visiting Week(s): If we are all feeling aligned after the family interview, we’ll invite your child for a two visiting weeks. Visiting weeks allows the student to experience what it is like to be here and lets us make sure our community can effectively support and integrate the student. The “trial period” allows students to participate in the variety of experiences at Spark ALC, since each day is different.

Step 6: Final Enrollment: At the conclusion of the visiting period, we’ll seek feedback from the learning community and collectively we’ll discuss what support may be involved in integrating the new student.

If we are all in alignment around enrollment, you will complete your enrollment by paying the first month of the annual tuition offer and executing the final enrollment documents.
