WRITTEN APPLICATION
The written application is a crucial component of your application. We are a very unique learning environment and want to make sure we're a good fit for students and students a good fit for NOMAD. The written application is our first step in getting to know your family and your student.
RELEASE FORM
NOMAD would like to be able to communicate with your student's current school. To allows us to do this, we ask parents to fill out the following form by hand and mail the top portion to us and provide the bottom portion to your student's current school. If you are currently indie/home/micro-schooling, please notify our admissions team at Taylor@sf-nomad.com.
TEACHER RECOMMENDATION(s)
A great way to understand a kid as a learner is to hear about them from an educator. Please have one or two current or former teachers fill out our online teacher evaluation form - these are done online and do not need to be mailed in. By using our online evaluation form, you are waiving the right to review the recommendation. If you do not wish to waive your right to review, please email the admissions team at admissions@sf-nomad.com. We will email an evaluation form directly to your recommender. The recommender will be asked to return their evaluation form in a sealed envelope with their signature across the seal. After the admissions process, the recommendations will be mailed to your home. If you are currently indie/home/micro-schooling, please ask an educator/tutor who knows your child as a student to give a recommendation.
