Admissions Process

Space is Limited!

We thoughtfully review all applications with care. Our priority is to facilitate a positive and collaborative community.

  1. Fill out an application form during open enrollment.

  2. Schedule a student visit and tour. You and your student(s) will visit the co-op to assess if St. Augustine Co-op is a good fit for your family.

  3. Our advisory board will review your application for fit and availability.

  4. Accept your invitation to join the co-op, sign the enrollment form, and pay the tuition deposit.
