Admission Information

The school calendar is based on the Millbrae School District School Calendar. MNS opens approximately one week after the city district school but otherwise follows the calendar regarding holidays and other school closings.

After you have completed and returned an application form with your $60 non-refundable application fee to the school your child will be placed on a list in the order in which their application was received. If you would like to visit the school contact us via phone at (650) 589-3028 and arrangements will be made for you to meet with our admissions coordinator who can answer questions, introduce you to the appropriate teacher and give you a tour of our school. You are welcome to stay and observe the class in action which we feel will be of benefit to you in your selection process.

Application process begins each year for currently enrolled families in February and then the enrollment is open to the general public beginning March 1st. Notification of admission of child will be made the first week of May.

As of June 1, 2008 the new schedule of fees are as shown.
