| Brief description of entry evaluation required |
All candidates except for toddler applicants will participate in an admission visit. For Children's House applicants, admission videos help LMS to get a sense of who your child is at home. Kindergarten, Lower and Upper Elementary applicants will visit in person for their assessment. In addition to the assessment, third through sixth grade applicants spend some time experiencing the rhythm of the school day at LMS. Middle school applicants typically visit for a full day, which includes an academic assessment with the middle school teaching team. |
