The Speyer Legacy School is accepting applications for our Kindergarten, first, second and third grade classes on a rolling basis. Our first offer letters for the 2010-11 academic year will be mailed on February 19th and processing of new applications received will begin thereafter.
The Speyer Legacy School enrolls advanced learners who are curious, inquisitive, empathetic and whose thinking reflects a wide range of passions and interests. A Speyer student is one who enjoys language, both oral and written, and uses language skillfully to explore ideas, gather information and create imaginative products. Additionally, our thinkers are enthusiastic participants in many intellectual activities and are capable of handling an accelerated and enriched study in subjects such as mathematics, history, science, chess, Spanish, music and art. Coupled with high intelligence, our students have a capacity for effective collaboration and are responsive to teachers and classmates within a warm, supportive community.
The Speyer Legacy School is committed to enrolling advanced learners who will benefit from our unique learning environment regardless of financial means, and we therefore encourage applications from families who may not be considering any other independent schools for financial reasons.
The application process will include the following components:
- Application to be completed by the parents
- Parent Perspectives form to be completed by the parents
- Teacher Evaluation form to be completed by the current teacher
- Request for School Records form to be completed for applicants to first grade and above
- Assessment Report from the Educational Records Bureau
- Onsite, small group assessment by the admissions team
- Admissions decisions will be made using all the above information; therefore, no “cut-off” score has been established. Please note however, that our program is designed for advanced learners and, in the vast majority of cases, test scores of admitted students are in the top percentiles.
If you have questions about the admissions process, kindly direct your inquiries to: admissions@speyerlegacyschool.org
Thank you for your interest in our school. We look forward to meeting your child.
