Admissions Procedures

Kazoo School's enrollment process is designed so the school, parents, and student become acquainted and able to decide whether Kazoo School is an appropriate environment for the child.

As a first step, parents are asked to review information about Kazoo School on this website and to read printed materials about the school. The next step is to visit.

• Interested parents are encouraged to attend one or more Open Houses scheduled throughout the year, or contact the school office to schedule an orientation meeting and tour with the Head of School.
• Parents are encouraged to observe in a classroom; they should contact the school office to make arrangements for a visit.
• Parents should then complete the Admissions Application and return it to Kazoo School with the application fee.
• Upon receipt of the application, the school will contact parents to schedule a time for first through eighth grade applicants to spend a day visiting the school.
• Applicants for Kindergarten and Preschool will be invited to attend admissions playgroups in early spring. These one hour-long sessions allow our teachers to assess students in a school setting and give parents a chance to meet with the Head of School.
• Parents are encouraged to contact the Head of School throughout the process with any questions.
• Kazoo School will notify parents about admission shortly after the student visitation day.
• When a child has been admitted into the Kazoo School an enrollment contract for the coming school year is sent to the family.
• A non-refundable Reservation Deposit is required after a student has been admitted to Kazoo School. This deposit, along with the signed contract, reserves a space for your child in the school.
• The deposit is deducted from the tuition.
• The School offers need-based financial assistance to families. Please note your interest in applying for financial aid in the appropriate space on the admissions application.
• Please return the completed financial assistance form to the school office by the May 1 deadline.
• The enrollment process is final when all contracts and forms are completed and returned to Kazoo School.

Kazoo School serves children of varied abilities and is committed to challenging and accommodating the diverse educational needs of students. Our environment is built upon trust, respect and cooperation and does presuppose certain skills. Students must be able to respond to gentle verbal reminders and within a reasonable period of time, be able to accept the Kazoo School's Bill of Responsibilities and Rights, which is a framework for positive behavior. Kazoo School looks for students who can both benefit from and contribute to our school community.

Kazoo School reserves the right to deny admission to any student whose educational needs cannot be met by Kazoo School.

It is the policy of the Kazoo School not to discriminate against any person on the basis of gender, race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, political persuasion, national or ethnic origin, disability, or any other characteristic protected by law in its admission, hiring or financial aid policies.
