ENROLLMENT PROCESS

Please contact the Program Coordinator for your specific location for mid year enrollment inquiries. 
​

Most new students begin in September, which marks the start of our school year. We encourage families to begin in September and attend the full school year (September–May), as our curriculum is intentionally designed to build from week one. There is a seven-week winter break during the school year.

How to Enroll

​

1. Explore Our Website
Take time to thoroughly review the information on our website to learn about our philosophy, programs, and expectations. This will help you determine whether Valley Forest School is a good fit for your family.

​

2. Ask Questions
After reviewing the website, feel free to reach out with any additional questions by emailing Bekah at bekah@valleyforestschool.com.

​

3. Attend an Open House (Optional)
While not required, attending an Open House is a wonderful way to experience Forest School firsthand. We host one Open House in the fall and one in the spring, and these are the only opportunities to visit classes in person.

​

4. Submit an Enrollment Request
When you're ready to be considered for enrollment, create an account in our Parent Portal and request a spot in the class that matches your child's age. Be sure to search for your preferred location in the search bar before submitting your request.

​

5. Enrollment Approval
Enrollment requests are reviewed and approved in the order they are received, provided space is available in the requested class.

​

6. Secure Your Child's Spot
Once your enrollment request has been approved, the final step is to pay the non-refundable enrollment fee to reserve your child's place. After your enrollment is complete, you'll receive important parent information to help prepare your family for a wonderful year at Forest School.
