We use TADS Financial Aid Assessment Service to conduct fair and confidential financial need assessments for families paying tuition. To access the TADS online application, visit mytads.com or click on ‘Financial Aid Assessment’ button below for a direct link.

This registration also allows us to plan appropriately for the number of students we can expect next year. We are asking all current families to complete their Online Registration (OLR)  by March 14th and TADS financial assistance by April 30. During the” re-enrollment period” priority will be given to currently enrolled students and their newly entering siblings. Due to the passing of Educational Savings Accounts, you are encouraged to complete the online enrollment  as soon as possible to secure your child/ren's seat for the 2025-2026 school year. Reasonable class sizes will continue for this upcoming year so keep in mind that spaces are limited!

If you have questions during the TADS application process, you can call and speak to a TADS representative by calling 800-477-8237, Monday-Friday, 7 AM to 8 PM Central Time. TADS staff also conduct live chats on their website (www.tads.com) and reply to emails sent to from: support@tads.com.
