As you come to know our school better through your online research, attendance at our Open House and participation in a tour and/or coffee chat, you’ll discover why our kids are so happy to be here.

At KapKa, all admission decisions are made without regard to a child’s race, religion, color, creed, national or ethnic origin, family structure, or financial status. We believe that all children are gifted and testing is not an effective way to measure a child’s potential. As such, we do not use formal testing to inform admission decisions. It is important for us to be able to fully meet the needs of each child that we accept into our school. Therefore, we only offer placement to children whose needs we believe we are fully able to support. Children must be five years old by August 31st in order to be considered for kindergarten placement.
Applicants are selected with an attempt to balance for gender, and preference is given to siblings of existing KapKa students, alums and children of KapKa staff.

It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
