Process
Enrollment period for 2011-2012
At this point, GRS has a full enrollment for 2011-2012. If you would like to submit an application and have your student be placed on the waiting list, please go to the application page and either download an application to send in by mail or complete an online application. We will let you know if any openings occur.
Enrollment process for 2012-2013:
The enrollment period for the 2012-2013 academic year is October 1, 2011 through 3:30 pm on January 31, 2012. If there are more applications than spaces in any particular grade, a lottery will be conducted on February 1, 2012. Student applications received after January 31, 2012 will be placed on the waiting list in the order received.
The application process – three steps
#1 Visit – two options
1. Open Houses are the best way to visit and learn more about GRS. Tours, presentations by administrators and staff and a student panel will give prospective students and parents in depth information about the school. Dates for 2011-2012 Open Houses are posted on the Open House page.
2. While Open Houses are the best way to learn about our school, it is also possible to schedule a tour of the school on a regular school day. If you would like to sit in on a class, please make that known so we can make appropriate arrangements. Please call Lydia McAnerney to schedule a visit on a Thursday. We try to schedule tours at 10 am and 1 pm to minimize classroom interruptions.
#2 Shadow
When it comes time to make a decision about attending GRS, those students who have experienced a day at school have an easier time. We especially encourage high school students to shadow, even for a half day, as our program is quite different from a traditional high school. Shadowing opportunities can be scheduled from October through May, Tuesday or Thursday. (Please note: we do not schedule shadow days during testing in the fall or spring and there is no shadowing for prospective Adolescent 1 ( Junior high) students in January.)
Please call Lydia McAnerney to schedule a shadow day. A completed application signed by a parent/guardian must be on file before this visit.
#3 Complete and submit an application – three ways
After the close of the enrollment period – two steps
#1 Lottery
Following the close of the enrollment period on January 31 at 3:30 pm, if there are more applications than openings in a particular grade, we will conduct a lottery on February 1 at 10 am. Any applications received by this date will be entered into the lottery and will receive a number. Letters indicating enrollment or a waiting list number will be sent out as soon as possible after the lottery. Anyone turning an application in after January 31 will be place on the waiting list according to the date received.
#2 Family Meeting
In April, all new students and their parents/guardians will meet with members of the GRS faculty. This 30-minute meeting will review expectations and an overview of the GRS program and give families a chance to ask questions. All registration paperwork should be completed and turned in at this time.
If a student applies and enrolls after the spring (i.e. during the winter or summer), a family meeting will be arranged at a time convenient for both the family and a faculty member.
