Beyond that, there are a number of factors used by the Admission Committee to achieve and maintain a level of diversity reflective of the school’s commitment to an anti-bias curriculum. The Committee attempts, for example, to balance gender within classrooms and to offer spaces to children and families who will contribute to the overall diversity of the school’s population. We try to maintain a consistent level of enrollment throughout all of the grades so students will experience the full richness of their academic and social experience at Lesley Ellis. When there are more eligible applicants than there are available spaces at any particular grade level, the Committee will use a lottery system to achieve a full measure of fairness and inclusivity.
