Getting Started
The first step toward admission to The Concept School is a meeting with the Head of School to talk about your son or daughter. A phone call is also acceptable. Many families send the latest IEP and Evaluation Report for the Head of School to review.
Information gathered will help determine the next steps, which may include completing the Application for Admission and a three to five day visit to TCS for the student. A final decision on admission will be made at this point in the process.
Step 1
Complete the Inquiry Form or call 610-399-1135
Step 2
Schedule a personal tour for both parent(s)/guardian(s) and the student. Often, parents prefer to visit the school first, then bring their child on a second tour.
Step 3
Send copies (scanned via email is acceptable) of:
- School district or private testing results showing both I.Q. scores and achievement tests results.
- Report cards for the last two years, including the current year.
- Most recent IEP
Mail the above items to The Concept School, P.O. Box 54, Westtown, PA 19395 or you can scan them to wbennett@theconceptschool.org or you can drop them off in person.
Step 4
Complete the official application. An Application for Admission will be available for completion either by email, in our information packet given out during our tour, or completed here. Please do not hesitate to call us if you have any questions about completing the application.
Step 5
Please pay a non-refundable application fee of $50.00 by check or Venmo (@TheConceptSchool1972).
Step 6
Schedule a visitation period (one to three days) for the student. Applications received during the summer will require a student interview.
Step 7
Following the visitation period, the Head of School and Dean of Students will make a final determination as to whether The Concept School is an appropriate placement for the student.
