Our Admission Process

The admission process begins with a screening of all application materials. The admissions team then assesses if the student is at risk for dyslexia and if so, the student will be tested to verify dyslexia. If the applicant is found to be dyslexic by the admissions team, then the student is accepted into LKA or placed on a waitlist for when a spot becomes available.
