Admissions Timelines
Rolling Admissions
Tessellations has a rolling admissions process. Applications are reviewed as they are completed, and students are admitted for Fall 2026 depending on availability. Families are encouraged to apply early for the best chance of securing a spot.
For families interested in an immediate start: we have limited availability in select grades. Please reach out to our Admissions Team at admissions@tessellations.school to inquire.
