Elementary School Admissions


Applying to del Sol at the elementary school level is a multi-step process:


School Tour & Orientation

Parents attend a 90 minute introductory orientation to del Sol's constructivist, project-based, social-moral philosophy of education and curriculum. This tour is for adults only. (Schedule your tour by clicking the button at bottom of the page.)


Parent Observations of the School Day

Parents observe our teachers and students in action, seeing and feeling the del Sol difference from 8:15 to noon. This block of time offers parents to experience the flow of the day and visit each of the classrooms in your child's future.


Request an Enrollment Application Packet

This packet contains an application and further reading which introduces important elements of the home-school partnership.


Submit Application

Enrollment Interview

Parents, administration, and classroom teacher meet to discuss questions based on visits and readings. Your active investigation of del Sol (dS) through your visits and readings will help you determine your compatibility with dS’s philosophy and your desire to enter an active partnership with dS and your family.
