Admissions

Diablo Valley School enrolls students age 5 to 19 who do not require intense supervision and do not have severe disabilities that the staff is not equipped to handle. Space permitting, students can enroll and begin attending school after successfully completing the admissions process.

Here are our five steps to enrollment.

1. Learn about how our educational model works. We encourage you to read articles on this site or attend an Open House.

2. Schedule a family interview ($15 fee) during school hours. Complete the Interview Request Form online, or use the printable form and mail it to us, or call the school and we'll be glad to mail you a form.

3. Sign up for a visiting week for your child ($100).

4. After the visiting week is complete, attend a second family interview (no charge).

5. If all goes well during the visiting week and interviews, and if everyone agrees that enrollment is appropriate, the enrollment packet can be filled out and returned to the school. The enrollment packet includes payment of the $35 enrollment fee and the initial tuition payment.

Tuition payment is prorated based on the annual amount and the time of year the student enrolls.
On occasion, the Admissions Committee may request additional visiting weeks, $100 per week, before enrollment is discussed at the second family interview.

Diablo Valley School admits students of any race, color, sex, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin to all rights and privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students and staff at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin in administration of its school administered programs.
