✓ · Application & next steps
Application processing fee: $500. Once your application is submitted, the MANA team will review it. Depending on the program and available space, families may be invited to a conversation, campus visit, or MANA trial day. Because MANA is intentionally a small community, enrollment is limited and spaces are offered based on available capacity and program fit. The fee is not collected through this form — Brandee will follow up with payment instructions.
Submit application We’ll review your application and reply within two business days. Your answers are used only for admissions. Please arrange a private conversation for anything you’d rather not share in writing.
