Enroll Your Child at Primavera

How to Apply

Open enrollment for 2025-2026 school year begins in February.

The first step to enrollment is to set up a meeting and tour with the Director by calling or emailing director@primaveraschool.org. Enrollment for the start of each school year which begins the first week in August opens to returning families in mid January to re enroll their child/children. Open enrollment for new families begins in mid February and remains open until classes are filled. Wait lists are created as soon as classrooms are filled with registered students. Siblings of current students get priority enrollment and are moved to the top of any waitlists.

There are 3 main enrollment periods for the Preschool: August, January, and June. August is the main start of our program, although we offer a summer program for June and July for currently enrolled students, or students that have registered to start in August. However, if there is a space that is open, we may be able to accommodate students throughout the school year.

Requirements

  • A parent tour to learn about the school and its mission.
  • A completed enrollment form, Emergency Information and Immunization Card, a student medical release form, private school affidavit (Primary School only), and permission slip.
  • An up to date immunization record or signed Exemption certificate.
  • For students who have completed Kindergarten on up, a signed release for previous student records.
  • A non-refundable $100.00 one time registration fee.
  • A non-refundable $200.00 tuition deposit, applied to August’s tuition.

Important Timelines

  • Preschool: children must be 3 years old and potty-trained upon enrollment.
  • Transitional Kindergarten: children must be 5 years old by December 31st.
  • Kindergarten: children must be 5 years old by September 1st.
  • Any exceptions to this rule will require further assessments by the Director or the classroom teachers during the admissions visit.

Children are respected, and teachers create a learning environment that can actualize each child’s potential.

Scholarship Information

SCHOLARSHIP & FINANCIAL AID ASSISTANCE

All Primavera elementary and middle school students (Kindergarten-8th grade) are currently receiving some form of tuition assistance, either from an STO scholarship or from the state-funded Empowerment Scholarship Program (ESA). Because the ESA program does not cover Primavera's tuition in full, families must pay the difference to the private school. In some cases, a family is better off financially if they apply to multiple STOs and receive tuition tax credit scholarships that may cover more of their private school tuition than the ESA.

Some families, particularly low-income families, Kindergarten families, or middle school families, will be better off applying for STO tax credit scholarships and seeking recommended funds from them. Since the ESA only covers half of our Kindergarten tuition, Kindergarten families might be able to cover nearly all their tuition by applying to multiple STOs for scholarships!

IMPORTANT:  Once you have a signed contract with the ESA program, a student cannot accept any STO money for the same period.   

We all want to ensure that Primavera students and families continue to have a choice in their education and can take advantage of these opportunities for financial assistance to afford a private school education at Primavera School. At this time, we are encouraging our families to apply for tax credit scholarships at the Arizona Tuition Connection, an Arizona STO that we are partnered with.

Here are some additional links to STOs that are currently awarding scholarships to Primavera students. Remember, you must apply to the STO to receive an award, even a recommended scholarship! Check the websites for application deadlines, usually in the spring.
