  • Characteristics of Giftedness Form
    This is a detailed form that helps us get to know the student’s unique giftedness profile and learning preferences.
  • Student Video
    We ask for a short 3-4 minute video to give us a glimpse into the student’s world.
  • Parent/Guardian Statement
    This is a short form to get to know the Parent/Guardian(s)

    We ask that the student’s current teacher(s) fill out a recommendation form which will be emailed directly to the teacher(s) from our admissions team

After the initial application materials are submitted, Tessellations will invite finalists to proceed in the application process. Finalists are invited to complete some or all of the following steps, depending on the age of the child and information needed by our Admissions Team. Please note that the order of these steps may vary.

  • Parent/Guardian Interview This is a meeting to ensure alignment between family expectations and our school’s educational approach. We will explore how our program can support your student’s learning journey, and allow you to ask any questions you may have.
  • Playgroup Tessellations teachers and a group of applicants will meet and engage in a fun activity together. This is not a test, but rather meant to provide insight regarding how your child engages in a group environment.

When the application process is complete, the Admissions Team will make an admissions decision. A number of criteria will inform the admissions decision; however, no single criterion will determine the final decision.

Upon acceptance, a contract will be sent to the parents/guardians for review and signatures. As part of their decision-making process, prospective families are invited to request to meet current families (adults and/or students) to hear about their experiences.

Once accepted, a signed contract and deposit toward annual tuition secure your child’s place in our program. We consider qualified candidates in the order in which they apply.

Tessellations admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation. Tessellations does not discriminate on the basis of these factors in the administration of its educational policies, financial award programs, or any other school-administered programs.
