ENROLLMENT INFORMATION
North Branch is a tax-exempt, not-for-profit corporation dedicated to providing the best education at the lowest possible cost to families. A comprehensive financial assistance program is available.
Thank you for your interest in North Branch School. Listed below is an outline of the enrollment process.
Schedule a visit – tour the school, sit in on classes, and see for yourself what North Branch is all about.
Complete the one-page application and submit the form with your enrollment fee.
Submit school reports/school work. If your child has attended another school, please submit the most recent school report you have and also a sample of your child’s writing (reports and/or creative), math work, and a brief list of the most recent books read.
Schedule a day for your child(ren) to visit. This is an important step for several reasons: your child becomes familiar with the North Branch setting as well as with staff and students, and staff get a chance to meet and know your child.
If there is not a space for your child, you will be put on a wait list and kept appraised of enrollment. Also, if your child requires specific resource work or instructional aid, please let us know so that staff and parents can evaluate whether or not North Branch will be able to meet your child’s needs adequately. If there is space and North Branch appears to be a good “fit” for your child, then you will be offered a contract.
If you anticipate a need for tuition assistance, the administrator will put you in touch with the treasurer to discuss options.
Return the contract. The application and enrollment fee are the start of the process; however, they do not secure a spot for your child(ren). To do this, a contract must be signed and submitted to the school.
