Enrollment Process

Step 1: Initial phone discussion

We would love to learn more about your family and your desire's for your children's education. You can reach Marcia Turpin at 847-409-3313 to begin the discussion.

Step 2: Schedule a time to come in for a tour, see our facilities, and meet our leadership team.

Step 3: Schedule a half or full Shadow Day in which your child can join a studio for the day and experience the unique learning environment of OliveWood Academy. Request a shadow day here.

Step 4: If your family and the OliveWood Academy leadership team believes that our community would be a good fit for your family, we invite you to enroll for the upcoming school year.

Mid-year enrollment is a challenge for children and we recommend waiting until the start of our school year in August before beginning to attend. Exceptions to this recommendation can be made based on individual circumstances.
