It is not too late!
I have received quite a few phone calls and emails in the last few days from families wondering if they have missed the opportunity to apply for the upcoming school year. Rest assured that you still have time if you would like to pursue enrollment for the 2008-2009 school year.
If you are interested it is a good idea to contact us and set up an admissions visit as soon as possible. We have appointments every day from 9 am - 2 pm. During a visit, you will receive a tour of the campus and have an opportunity to ask whatever you wish about our program.
Please call 434.842.4205 if you wish to come and visit the campus. The start of the school year is approaching quickly, so please call today.
