Most Students who enter STEP 1 do so between June and September. Exceptions can be made for special circumstances. The summer months are preferable for many reasons, including the curriculum continuity and the availability of potential roommates.
The process involves filling out an application and sending documentation including a WAIS and two letters of recommendation. We interview every student who is considered for acceptance and take a social history from a parent. When the application process is complete, we will notify the student within three weeks.
