Step by Step Admissions:
1. Parents or guardians attend an information session.
If this is not possible, please contact the school to schedule a private meeting.
2. Parents or guardians fill out the application and pay the application fee of $80.
3. Parents or guardians schedule a day for the student to visit the school. We like for a student to visit a full day for students entering into 1st grade and up. For younger students, an appropriate amount of time will be discussed and scheduled accordingly.
4. Family provides DGS with school records and a teacher recommendation.
