  • Admissions Process

The Magellan admissions team pairs each child with a appropriate checklist to their age and grade. This ensures a tailored and thorough evaluation process as different grades develop at different rates and have unique strengths and room for growth. This personalized approach aims to create a positive admissions environment for students and parents.
