Student Shadow Day

Once your application packet is complete, we will contact you to schedule a Shadow Day for your child. This experience of shadowing another student gives your child an opportunity to get to know what Double Helix is all about while also giving the teachers a chance to interact with and learn more about each applicant.

Acceptance

Shortly after your child's Shadow Day, the staff will meet to identify which students would be a good fit for the Double Helix program. As we evaluate each applicant, we take into consideration:

• availability of space in each class

• teacher recommendations

• past disciplinary records

• family interviews

• whether or not we can accommodate each student's needs given our resources

Acceptance letters will be delivered once decisions have been made.

Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis until all available slots have been filled.

Enrollment

Once you accept the admissions offer and financial aid package, the final step of the admissions process is to officially enroll your child in Double Helix using our online portal.
