Our school has committed to be a part of SchoolAppKC which is a common application platform. We believe that making applying to schools more equitable and accessible for all families is an important part of making sure all families in Kansas City have the greatest access to high quality education for their children. The easy 8-question application allows you to apply to The Kauffman School in less than 5 minutes and makes applying to schools easier, more accessible, and more transparent.
 
Note - Current EMKS students do not need to re-apply through SchoolAppKC. More information about re-enrollment for current students can be found on the re-enrollment tab. 
Why EMKS?
