Enrollment for the 2027–28 school year opens to current MLS families on Monday, December 7, 2026. School is in session that day as usual.
Current families get six weeks of first refusal. Enrollment does not open to the public until January 19, 2027. That window exists so the families already here can hold their child’s place before anyone outside the school can claim it.
It matters most in the grades that fill. Our classes are small on purpose, and a small class reaches capacity quickly — Early Childhood and Kindergarten especially. If you intend to be back next year, December is the month to say so.
Enrollment is handled through the FACTS Family Portal, and the enrollment page walks through the steps. Tuition, payment plans, and the assistance available to MLS families are laid out on the Tuition & Financial Aid page — if cost is the question, ask us early rather than deciding on a guess.
One more date to keep: the discounted enrollment fee deadline is April 15, 2027.
