Our Admissions Process

We accept a limited number of students each year to preserve our 5–6 student group size and personalized model. Here’s what to expect:

Step 1:
Book a Tour
Begin by scheduling a private campus tour. Meet our leadership team and explore how we combine neuroscience, enrichment, and academic rigor in a nurturing environment.

“From the very first call, we felt seen, heard, and understood. Masterminds didn’t just ask about our child — they wanted to know her dreams.”

- Parent of a Grade 2 student

Step 2:
Initial Screening Call
After the tour is booked, a member of our Admissions Team will contact you for a brief call to learn more about your child’s interests, educational background, and goals.
Step 3:
Campus Tour & Parent Meeting
Families are invited for an in-person tour of the school. This is your chance to see our classrooms in action and ask any questions you may have about our curriculum, enrichment, and culture.
Step 4:
Interview with Head of School
Qualified families and students are invited to a one-on-one meeting with our Head of School to assess alignment in values, expectations, and student readiness.
Step 5:
Masterminds Experience Morning
Following the interview, select families may be invited to a
Masterminds Experience Morning

A curated half-day visit where your child and at least one parent participate in select classroom and enrichment activities.
This experience helps both the student and family better understand our unique approach to personalized learning, small group dynamics, and whole-child development.

"We’re not just choosing students—we’re welcoming families into a long-term educational journey."

- Shamail Siddiqi, Co-founder and CEO of Masterminds Education

“Watching our son participate in a violin session and coding challenge during the Experience Morning — we were blown away. He didn’t want to leave.”

- Parent of a new Grade 5 enrollee

Step 6:
Admission Offer
Once the process is complete, families will receive a formal admissions decision. Accepted students are sent an offer letter with program placement and deposit instructions.
Step 7:
Enrollment Confirmation
To confirm your child’s place, submit the enrollment deposit by the due date stated in your offer letter. Once received, we will send your official Welcome Pack and onboarding timeline.
