3. Student Assessment
After your application has been submitted, the Director of Admissions will contact you to schedule a student assessment. This in-person academic evaluation provides our teachers with the opportunity to assess your child’s reading, writing, and mathematics proficiency. Students may also elect to participate as an “Eagle-for-the-Day,” shadowing a class to spend the day as a Villa shadow student.
Assessments for the 2026-27 academic year are ongoing, though grades may be filled, and remaining spots are limited.
Assessments for the 2027–28 academic year will begin early 2027 and are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Villa siblings are given priority. We encourage families to submit applications early in order to secure the earliest possible assessment date.
All assessment results are carefully reviewed by the Director of Admissions, the classroom teacher, and the principal. After General Enrollment opens, assessment results are typically shared within 24 hours to 2 days after the assessment. -
