Admissions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything families ask us most, in one place.
Questions families ask us
Do I have to wait until the new school year to enroll?
No. We have rolling admissions, so you can apply at any time for your child to be considered.
How old do children have to be to attend Transitional Kindergarten (TK)?
Children who are four years old are eligible for TK.
Does my child need prior experience with Mandarin or Spanish?
No. We group students by language level during Mandarin and Spanish time, so children at every level get lessons pitched just right and can enroll at any time.
What if we don’t speak Mandarin or Spanish at home?
Families do not need to be trilingual. Our immersion program helps students become fluent speakers with or without practice at home.
Is there an admissions test?
We assess students when they enroll so we can differentiate instruction for their needs, but never to decide eligibility.
What grades do you offer?
Oasis serves transitional kindergarten (age 4) through 8th grade, so students can stay with us through middle school.
Where do students go after Oasis?
Our graduates go on to a wide range of private, charter and public schools, homeschool, and early college entrance programs.
What makes Oasis different from other private schools?
We teach in Mandarin, English and Spanish in small multi-age classes, which lets us tailor the curriculum to each child. Teachers assess students three times a year in all three languages and math, and with parents set individualized learning goals. Our curriculum is inquiry-based and connected by themes across all three languages, and enrichment classes are taught in Mandarin or Spanish to give students as much practice as possible.
Do you offer tours?
Yes. Use our tour and interest form to choose an available date, or watch our virtual tour. For other questions, email enroll@oasistrilingualschool.org.
When are applications due? Is there a wait list?
Applications are considered first come, first served. Once classes reach capacity, applicants join a wait list. Apply online through our PraxiSchool portal; there is a $100 non-refundable application fee. After you apply, we’ll invite your child to a visit or trial day so you can make sure we’re a good fit for your family.

School starts in late August and ends in early June. In 2026–27, the first day is August 26, 2026 and the last day is June 10, 2027. See the full calendar.
What are school hours? Is there after-school care?
The school day ends at 3:35 pm. Our after-school program runs until 6:00 pm with homework help, clubs and sports. Learn more.
How much is tuition?
