Admission and Enrollment Process
Admissions
Submit an inquiry form to schedule a tour of our forty-acre campus. This will allow you to see the school and the classrooms, get a feel for the community, and ask any questions you have about the school.
We will invite you (via email) to create a user account with Ravenna, the online database Live Oak Waldorf School uses to manage school records. Once you establish your user account, you can access the Parent Portal to apply for your child to enroll.
Applications are sent to teachers for review and placement based on the child’s age and previous schooling. To start preschool, children must be 2 years and 9 months old by the first day of school (usually close to Sept. 1st). Teachers place children in the grade and class level that will best meet the socio-emotional and academic needs of each child.
To ensure our school and class are the best choice for each child, we require (while school is in session) students to participate in a three-day classroom visit. For the child to attend class, the following paperwork must be completed and submitted:
- Student Emergency Card
- Medication in School
- Photo Release
The teacher will notify the family after the interview (Preschool and Kindergarten) or classroom visit (Grades) of their enrollment decision.
Enrollment
The teacher will notify the family after the interview (Preschool and Kindergarten) or classroom visit (Grades) of their enrollment decision. Upon acceptance, the student may enroll in the school for a trial period of up to six weeks. The enrollment trial period allows the family and the teacher to ensure the class is the best option for the student. At any time during the trial period, the family may choose to leave or the teacher may choose to ask the student to withdraw from the school. If a student leaves the school within the six-week trial period, the family is only responsible for paying tuition while the child is enrolled.
You will receive an email inviting you to complete your admissions agreement via TADS.
You will receive an email with a link to all necessary enrollment forms. The school must have documentation of immunization on the child’s first day of class/enrollment.
