New Garden Friends School encourages families to begin the process in the fall before their child's intended enrollment year. Starting early provides more flexibility to explore the program, visit campus, and complete all application requirements. The priority deadline is March 1, with rolling admissions as we have space after that.

No. Our Preschool program starts at age 3 with our 3's class- Crocus. Students need to be 3 years old by September 1 to enroll in Crocus. 

NGFS is dedicated to providing an effective learning environment for all students; which  includes clearly conveying our educational limits to prospective families. We are not equipped to serve students whose needs would require a fundamental alteration to our program, and NGFS does not follow Individualized Education Plans (IEP's). Each applicant and every situation is considered on an individual basis. We invite you to contact us to discuss your child’s specific needs so that we can assess together whether our school is a suitable fit for your learner.
