How to Apply
Shady Lane administrators and staff will work with you as you consider and complete the admissions materials.
Step One:
Families interested in attending Shady Lane must submit a completed Waitlist Form, along with a $25 non-refundable Waitlist Fee.
Invitations to Shady Lane are made based on the date of the Waitlist application, space availability within each age group and your desired schedule. Initial invitations are extended by phone and email, if an email address is provided on the Waitlist Form.
Step Two:
Parents have three (3) business days following the initial invitation to accept or decline the spot. When an invitation is accepted, Shady Lane will immediately send a written confirmation and Enrollment Form.
Step Three:
In order to secure the offered placement, the Enrollment Form must be returned, along with a Tuition Deposit, by the date specified in the confirmation letter. The Tuition Deposit will be credited against the child's September tuition (or first month's tuition, if enrolling later in the School Year). Tuition Deposits are refundable only under specific circumstances; details are provided in the confirmation letter.
If the Enrollment Form and Tuition Deposit are not returned on time, Shady Lane will assume the invitee is no longer interested in Shady Lane and the child's name will be removed from the Waitlist. Invitees who decline an invitation will be removed from the Waitlist unless Shady Lane receives a written request to remain on the Waitlist.
Step Four:
Upon receipt of a completed Enrollment Form and Tuition Deposit, additional forms, designed to provide Shady Lane with basic information, will be sent to parents. These additional required forms must be completed and returned prior to the child's first day of attendance.
Step Five:
All students must pay an annual Registration Fee to cover the cost of updating and maintaining student files. New students pay a Registration Fee of $100; the Registration Fee for returning students is $50. Registration Fees are non-refundable and due in September.
