Admissions Process

Applying to Omni takes time and planning — we recommend starting about a year before your intended enrollment.

Families relocating from out of town should be prepared for multiple in-person visits. Meetings, classroom observations, and other visits must be scheduled in advance. These visits are essential for getting to know your child and sharing how Omni can support their growth.

Admissions Decisions

Admissions decisions are made collaboratively by the Head of School, classroom guides (teachers)/Program Directors, and the Director of Advancement. Decisions are based on the child’s readiness, the potential for a successful classroom fit, and the family’s alignment with the school’s mission. All decisions are communicated by the Advancement Office.
