In making enrollment decisions, Aurora School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, and gender, national or ethnic origin. Aurora welcomes students from a wide variety of economic and social backgrounds; including gay/lesbian, adopted and single parent families as well as children with physical disabilities.

Aurora seeks to enroll children who will benefit from its academic program and its method of teaching. In addition, Aurora will give preference to qualified siblings and children who will assist the school in achieving a balanced and diverse student body.
