Application Process

We have one opening remaining for 2024-2025. We have several applicants who are well-matched for our program and have completed the application process, so we are no longer scheduling meetings with prospective families or hosting shadow days. However, we are still accepting applications. We’ll keep them on file in case there’s an unexpected opening.

We have a four-part application process. The parts must be completed in order.

  1. The parent(s) or guardian(s) participate in an introductory phone call, Zoom call, or tour with Greg Brown, the director.

  2. The parent(s) or guardian(s) complete an application.

  3. The parent(s) or guardian(s) and child tour the school and meet with the director. This is not an interview, but the child is required to actively participate for the first 20 minutes. If a child refuses or lacks the skills to participate in the meeting, Activate is not a good match.

  4. The child shadows for a day at Activate. During the shadow day, a brief literacy and math assessment will be administered to the child.

What We Look for in Applicants
