Admissions & Enrolloment Policy

UPDATED (11/2/22): Those interested in enrolling a child at the Leadership School this fall should know that our open-enrollment period ends at 5 p.m. on January 31, 2023.

The Leadership School is enrolling student leaders entering kindergarten, first grade, second grade and third grade in the 2023-24 school year (current pre-k, k, 1st and 2nd graders). Kindergartners must turn 5 years old by August 31, 2023.

The Leadership School will enroll fifty students per grade level (we will enroll 25 students in kindergarten only). In the event that we fill all seats in any grade and still have family interest in enrolling their child, a school lottery will be conducted. Students will be selected from the lottery on a first-come, first-serve basis with the exception of students who receive preferential admission according to RSMo 160.410.  The Leadership School will not have specific requirements for admission (e.g. minimum grade point average, test scores, discipline records, etc.).
