Application Process

Thank you for your interest in applying to School of the Ozarks! Being a small laboratory school, we are only able to accept a limited number of students each school year. In order to fulfill the mission and vision of School of the Ozarks, consideration for enrollment is as follows:

  • Re-enrollment of current students
  • Enrollment of qualified students whose family financial status fits the mission of C of O/S of O. In keeping with its mission, School of the Ozarks desires to enroll a significant number of students whose families fit that mission (“those found worthy, but without sufficient means to procure such training”).
  • Students who are classically trained (older students)
  • Kindergarten students who turn 6 within this calendar year

NOTE: All new enrollments are based on the availability of openings in their grade and financial category.
