Step 4 - Reading and math assessment

At Starwood Academy of Frisco, we use Measuring Academic Progress (MAP) testing to assess students' academic abilities. Rather than testing to specific benchmarks, this assessment allows us to ‘map’ each student’s proficiency in reading and math.

Step 5 - Class Visit

The class visit, which takes place during morning work time, is an opportunity for our guides to observe your student in the classroom environment. Through observation, guides assess the student's preferences, strengths, and ability to work within a community.

Step 6 - Parent/Guardian Interview

For elementary and middle school applicants, the interview will consist of the Assistant Head of School and the parents/guardians. After the supporting materials have been reviewed, this serves as an opportunity to get to know you better and to ensure that the family’s and school’s core values, goals, and expectations of the child are the same. The interview is meant to be fairly informal, and takes place on the phone.
