Admission Decisions made in mid-March.
Arbor School was founded as a learning environment in which a diverse set of individuals can flourish and contribute to a vibrant, thoughtful and hardworking community. We think of children as full of promise and look forward to working with our parents in helping their children to develop intellectual and creative powers while growing skills in working harmoniously with others. Admission depends on the School's determination of its ability to enhance the growth of the child, the potential for the child to enrich the school community, and the parent's commitment to collaborating with the school on behalf of the child.
Arbor School of Arts & Sciences follows the letter and spirit of all equal opportunity and civil rights laws.
