NAVIGATING THE ADMISSIONS PROCESS
The process begins with an all-family informational meeting in spring of seventh grade and culminates with high school enrollment in spring of eighth grade. Millennium’s Director of High School Counseling, Erin Gevertz, works closely with families to chart appropriate educational trajectories, involving individual meetings to discuss school lists, timelines, and application pieces.
