To learn six subjects without remembering how they were learnt does nothing to ease the approach to a seventh; to have learned and remembered the art of learning makes the approach to every subject an open door. - Dorothy Sayers

Admission Process Below are the steps in CCA’s Admissions Process:
Step One: All families considering applying for admission to CCA must attend a school information session. Furthermore, prospective parents are required to read all materials in the CCA Admissions Packet, and are strongly recommended to read Douglas Wilson’s book The Case for Classical Christian Education for an understanding of the school mission, goals, curriculum, policies, and educational philosophy.
Step Two: Prospective families who have made their school visit and completed the required reading should complete and submit an application for admission. This application must be completed in all parts and submitted with payment of the school’s application fee. A non-refundable application fee of $80.00 is required for all children to be considered for admission to CCA. Families submitting applications for more than one child shall not pay more than $400.00 in application fees in one academic year.
Step Three: Once the completed Application for Admission is received and application fee payments are processed, prospective families shall schedule a Family Interview with the Principal or Admissions Committee. The Family Interview is the family’s opportunity to express alignment or concerns with CCA’s Personal Statement of Faith, educational philosophies, policies or any other area. Each parent and the applicant are required to participate in the interview. During the interview, the family’s questions about CCA will be answered and the school’s expectations will be clarified, the Application for Admission will be reviewed and financial matters including tuition and financial aid will be discussed. Families intending to apply for need-based financial aid will receive applications and directions in the financial aid process at this time.
Step Four: All prospective kindergarten students having completed step three of the Admissions Process shall complete a standard school readiness test. Prospective students in higher grades whose abilities remain in question after completing step three of the Admissions Process may be required to take admissions examinations to facilitate academic evaluations and placement. Note: Home-Schooled Students The Admissions Committee may request samples of student work when test scores and admissions exams prove insufficient in completing academic evaluations.
Step Five: After the above steps are completed, the Admissions Committee may request further information about the applicant and/or his family. An admissions decision shall be mailed within two weeks after the Family Interview. The Principal possesses final authority in all admissions decisions. Admitted students are required to submit an official enrollment confirmation within two weeks of receiving their admissions notification, with a 10% tuition payment to reserve their place in the present class. Families electing not to respond within the appointed time shall be considered as having no further interest in enrollment, and shall be removed from the admissions process.
Step Six: Once enrollment confirmation has been received and tuition deposit processed, an enrollment interview may be scheduled with the Principal or Admissions Committee to discuss tuition payment options, student placement, and steps to be taken to ensure a smooth transition to school life at CCA. All new families and students shall be invited to attend our annual Welcome Day, when new students and new families will have the opportunity to get acquainted with each other and the members of the school community. |
