To help the student, the student's family, and the School decide about enrollment, the School requires that the student spend a week at School as a visiting student.
During that week, the visitor is welcomed as a full participant in the life of the community. There is a $250 fee for the week. After the visiting week, the student can seek enrollment at any time.
