Important: 2023-24 Kindergarten Applications
Due to an unusually large 2022-23 Pre-K class, we are short on Kindergarten spots for next year, and therefore cannot take any more Kindergarten applications for the 2023-2024 school year. We thank you for your interest and hope you might consider GFS for Grade 1 for 2024-25, where we do build our enrollment slightly.
