Schedule a 1:1 call or zoom meeting:
We host parent tours throughout the school year during the school day. Tours start at 9:00AM and run about 90 minutes.
-
Tours for Kindergarten through Fifth Grade take place on Tuesday mornings.
-
Tours for Sixth through Twelfth Grade take place on Thursday mornings.
Tours provide an opportunity for parents to see the school in action and to hear from faculty and students. These tours are adult/parent focused. The second phase of our admissions process for students who we think might be a good fit for the school is a school visit. We find that this is the best way for students to get a sense of life and learning at Lang.
To register for a tour, click on a date below to see availability and then click the tour on the right to begin the registration process.
Our Virtual Open Houses take place in the evenings and provide a forum to learn more about the school, to hear from teachers and members of our therapy team and to hear from current Lang students and parents. At present, there are no virtual open houses scheduled
New events are added regularly throughout the year, so don’t forget to bookmark this page and check back with us to stay up-to-date on all future Open Houses and Events!
You can also CONTACT our Admissions Team if you have immediate questions or want to book a 1:1 INFO SESSION.
Our admissions are rolling and we review applications as we receive them. Click the button below to access our online application portal. You'll be asked to complete a brief inquiry form. Once submitted, you'll receive an email verification form with information about how to access the admissions portal.
-
The application includes a "Release" section that allows us to speak with your child’s school, neuropsychologist, and other critical providers. We will work with you to time these conversations.
-
We also understand you may not be ready to tell your child’s current school about your decision to apply to another school. We do require a recommendation from a current teacher and we've designed that form in a way that doesn't require you to disclose that you are applying to other schools. You'll find more about this in the application portal.
-
There is no assessment or entry exam that is required as part of the application process.
-
We do require the submission of a number of supporting documents that are outlined on the next tab.
-
NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL REPORT: Submit your child’s most recent neuropsychological evaluation. A psychoeducational evaluation is also a good start. While a current evaluation is preferred, we will look at evaluations that were done within a 2-3 year window.
-
REPORT CARDS: Please send us your child’s school report cards from the last two years, if available. Note that we're more interested in the narratives than the grades.
-
OTHER DOCUMENTS: Submit any other evaluations or documentation (e.g., a digital portfolio) that might help us better understand your child.
Neuropsychological vs. Psychoeducational Evaluations: What’s the Difference?
In short, a psychoeducational evaluation asks,
-
“What is this student’s intellectual and academic ability, and how do they learn?” It’s designed to identify learning strengths and weaknesses, diagnose specific learning disorders, and recommend educational supports or accommodations.
-
Primarily educational and often used for school accommodations (IEPs, 504s) and academic planning.
-
Core Questions:
-
What is the student’s intellectual ability (IQ)?
-
What are their academic strengths and weaknesses?
-
Is there a specific learning disorder (e.g., dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia)?
-
What supports, interventions, or accommodations will help them succeed in school?
-
A neuropsychological evaluation asks:
-
“What is going on in this child’s brain, cognition, and emotional life that affects learning and daily functioning?” It goes deeper and aims to provide a comprehensive picture of how the student thinks, learns, and copes.
-
Broader, medical + cognitive + emotional focus: Examines brain-behavior relationships, looking deeply at attention, memory, executive function, language, visual-spatial skills, processing speed, and emotional functioning.
-
Often used when there’s complex or unclear difficulties (e.g., ADHD, autism, TBI, seizures, mood disorders, unexplained academic struggles).
-
Core Questions:
-
How are different brain-based cognitive functions (attention, memory, processing, executive function) working?
-
Are there neurological or developmental conditions (ADHD, autism, brain injury effects, etc.)?
-
How do emotional or behavioral factors impact functioning?
-
What is the integrated picture of the child’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioral profile?
-

Pay our $130.00 application fee. (Need-based waivers are available.)
Why is there an application fee? The fee covers costs associated with the processing, coordination, and review of the application.
Our team will review the application and supporting materials.
If we think Lang may be a good fit for your child, we will invite him/her/them for a full day visit (our Kindergarten and First Grade visits are often morning half-day visits).
If we don't think that Lang is a good fit for your child, we'll try to provide recommendations about other programs that may be better aligned to support your child.
Our team will review your child's application, supporting documents, and insights from the visit to determine if The Lang School is aligned to support your child's strengths and areas of need.
If we are aligned, we'll offer an enrollment contract and can discuss eligibility for Conners funding. We're happy to address any other questions you may have.
Once enrolled, we'll begin the ongoing conversation about the educational pathway we'll design for your child.
