Admission Process

Thank you for your interest in our school! Centreville Layton School prides itself on an Admissions Process that is thorough, supportive, and responsive. The information provided by families will be kept confidential through this process, and testing and IEPs will be reviewed by the teacher and therapists who will be working with your child through the visitation process and upon enrollment. Admissions decisions are made with the best interests of the child and the family at the center, and acceptances are based on whether the child will benefit from the programs and support services that are offered.

We are delighted to take this opportunity to partner with you in the education of your child. Below is a summary of our admissions process.

Application Process
