SCHOOL TOURS
Tours of the school are regularly scheduled from 9:00 am – 11:00 am. Please call the school office at 978-283-1700 for a tour appointment or email info@easternpointdayschool.org. During the tour, the family has an opportunity to view the classrooms, as well as learn about the School’s mission, philosophy, and methodology. After the tour, a faculty member or the Headmaster will meet with the family and answers any questions that the family may have about the Eastern Point Day School experience including classroom environment, teacher/faculty information, curriculum, or the admission process.
To progress to the next stage, the parents or guardians submit a completed application for enrollment with a non-refundable fee on behalf of the child applicant. A decision to apply for admission to the school is an indication of the family’s willingness to embrace the Eastern Point Day School philosophy, mission and community.
When the School receives the application and non-refundable fee, the school’s administrative staff will open an application file for the child. The School’s administrative staff or appropriate teacher from the class to which the child is entering will contact the family and ask them to schedule an in-classroom visit.
All children participate in a ½ day visit in the classroom to which the child is an applicant. This is an opportunity for the child and the parents to experience Eastern Point Day School while allowing the teacher to assess the child’s readiness for our academic environment.
Also, after an application is received, the school’s administrative staff will request the parents to sign a Record and Information Release Form so that a written assessment may be obtained from the applicant’s previous school(s) for review during the admission process. The School may also request teacher recommendations if appropriate.
All applicants are notified of acceptance by the Admissions Team on or before April 1 in the year of the application, and, if accepted, an Enrollment Contract is mailed with notification. Each family has 10 days to respond and enroll by signing and returning the Enrollment Contract and paying the non-refundable tuition deposit. If the contract is not returned within thirty days, the school cannot guarantee that the accepted child will be enrolled and will offer classroom positions to children on a waiting list.
A child is considered enrolled only when the Enrollment Contract is signed and returned and a non-refundable tuition deposit is paid to the school.
