Enrollment for the Upcoming/Next School Year

New student interest applications will be open online at 9am, February 3rd for the 2025-2026 school year

All applications received during our enrollment windows are reviewed in order of submission and considered for the space(s) we have open. Tours and student assessments are scheduled only for applicants in/entering the specific grade(s) in which we have availability.

Due to limited spaces available across all classrooms, you may be placed on a waitlist in order of your application submission. Families on waitlists will be called in order of application submission to visit the campus for a tour and student assessment only when a space becomes available.

Enrollment is based on the following:

Student classroom readiness skills (i.e., attending, redirection, no elopement)
Student ability to work with K+ level curriculum in a min. 4:1 ratio in our main track, and 8:1 ratio in our preparatory track
Student has fully independent toileting skills (*this is a requirement, even for a shadow day)
Vocal ability/attempts can be expressed (for our language based programming)
Student does not have a tendency of aggressive/high magnitude behaviors
Academic track availability as determined from assessment/shadow day(s)

In our mission to provide students with optimal learning opportunities in a nurturing, harmonious environment, The United School welcomes students with autism and related disorders who have an ability to respond to our method of teaching (Direct Instruction) within our ratio and exhibit minimal behaviors.

The United School for Autism admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin.
