Prospective Parents and Students
We are so glad that you are looking into Kunsberg for your child. Below you fill find some information about the enrollment process and how it works. If at any time during the enrollment process you have any questions, please call the school office.
Enrolling in Kunsberg
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.
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. You can also submit this information online, using our Web Inquiry Form.
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 interviewing students in grades K-7 for the 2010-2011 school year.
