Admission

Clearway’s Admissions Process

​

Although Clearway currently is filled for the 2022-23 school year. Clearway accepts applications for students in grades 7-12, and we maintain a waiting list. There are possibilities for mid-year transition to Clearway's program.

​

Clearway School admits students entering grades 7-12 with language-based learning disabilities, nonverbal learning disabilities, dyslexia, and other similar special needs. The admissions process begins with a referral being emailed to Peter Rosen (Clearway's Educational Administrator) at prosen@clearwayschool.org or mailed to Clearway School. When a student is referred to Clearway School by the public school, the Educational Administrator, Peter Rosen, reviews all available information to determine if the applicant is appropriate for further consideration.

​

If the applicant seems appropriate, the parent(s)/guardian(s) is invited to visit the school and observe the program. Public school personnel may be invited as well. If after the parent(s)/guardians(s) visit, it appears that there is potential for an appropriate match, the student is invited for a short interview and tour.

​

Before making a final recommendation, the student is invited to participate in an entire day of classes. The visiting day offers the student the opportunity to experience a typical day at Clearway School and allows our staff to get to know the student in a classroom environment. Students are assisted by a Student Ambassador (who helps visitors navigate the visit) during the visit. The admissions process also includes a short intake application and a release so that Clearway staff can speak with professional(s)/individual(s) that can speak to a student's needs.

​

Clearway School has a policy of rolling admissions and students can be enrolled at any time during the school year.

​

Our admissions process is adapting for the current health crisis, and some families can choose to have some steps occur virtually. If there is an in-person visit, all individuals are required to comply with Clearway's mask policies, which currently include masks worn inside the building.
