Enrollment Information
The enrollment process usually starts with a phone conversation with our enrollment coordinator. She gathers some basic information, such as the name, age, and grade of the student as well as the student's type of chronic illness. At that point, she will let the parent/guardian know if it sounds like Kunsberg would be a good fit and, if so, will set up an appointment. You can also submit this information online, using our Web Inquiry Form.
At the appointment, the enrollment coordinator will do an interview with the family to get some basic family and medical history. While the parent/guardian is filling out some basic paperwork, our child advocate will test the student to see where he/she performs academically. Once those interviews are complete, the family will receive a tour of the school, meet some of the staff and will be able to ask questions.
The enrollment committee then meets to discuss if Kunsberg is the right place for the student and will give the parent/guardian a call with their decision. The process usually takes 1-3 weeks from the initial phone call.
We are currently accepting students in grades K-7 for the 2009-2010 school year.
