Notes for Prospective Students
WHAT KIND OF STUDENT IS A GOOD FIT FOR ATLAS? We
seek young people who display curiosity about their world,
commitment to their work, creativity in their thinking, confidence
in themselves, and compassion toward others. During individual
interviews, we assess whether a learner will flourish within our
learning community by asking questions about their previous
schooling, their personal passions and aspirations, and by hearing
their own questions about ATLAS. We are not an
audition-based or test-score based school. A student may
be accepted into ATLAS with no theatre experience. We collect a
writing sample and conduct a math skills assessment only to provide
valuable information for curriculum planning.We invite applicants
to participate in a workshop in order to experience ATLAS teaching
and learning in action, and for our team to observe students
working collaboratively. Families must also demonstrate a
commitment to our core values and to their child`s education. In
conversation with families, we discuss hypothetical scenarios and
address questions and concerns. Ultimately, a student will be
accepted into ATLAS when faculty, administrators, families, and
individual learners mutually agree it is the right place for her or
him. We meet each individual learner where they arrive along their
intellectual, social, and emotional journey, and design individual
learning pathways upon acceptance into ATLAS.
