Our Admissions Process

1. The first step in our admissions process is to inquire.

2. The next step in our admissions process is to come for a tour. We release our tour schedule at the beginning of the school year and schedule tours from October through January. Tours are for adults only. 

3. After you have attended a tour, we will send you access to our online application where you can apply to SYV Family School. There is a $50.00 application fee due at the time you submit an application. 

4. Come March, we will schedule a time for all applicants, eligible for the upcoming school year, to visit SYV Family School. For Preschool & Kindergarten applicants this will be about an hour visit, usually on a weekend day. For 1st-5th grade applicants this will be two consecutive days of visiting from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00pm in a classroom of their peers. 

5. We let all prospective families know their admissions status for the upcoming school year by mid-March.
