STUDENT ENROLLMENTS:  It is necessary to set an appointment for an Parent/Student/Teacher Interview or an adult intake with assessment of needs.  This is done pre-booked for our Instructor/s, or social worker with School Director to meet with the parent/s, child/children.  This gives the family an opportunity to tour Spirit of Excellence Facilities, see a sampling of all programs available, and for us to see what the child's/Student's interests are and put them into the appropriate class.
