Admissions Overview

Having exposure to and continuing to grow in knowledge of both classical education and the CCA partnership model is essential for our families to be successful at Charis.  Our Info Session is the first step in ensuring that this learning process begins.  Prospective families will hear from and interact with our administrators and other experienced Charis parents as they learn about the foundational elements and goals of our program.  

*Children are welcome to attend, however, this is conducted in a meeting setting that is geared towards information gathering for parents.  Finding alternative childcare for young children is recommended in order for parents to focus on obtaining all the necessary material.

Our next Information Session will be on February 27, 2025 from 6:30pm-8:30pm.

You will need to complete an application for each new student to be considered for Charis admission.  New Student Applications for the 2025-2026 school year will be accessible through our website in February, after Priority Re-enrollment occurs for current CCA families (a $100 Application Fee per student is due at the time of application - $50 per additional sibling).  Please note that the date of application does not guarantee enrollment but does place your student officially into our applicant pool to be considered for admissions.  Within 2-3 weeks from application submission, your family will receive communication from Charis either offering a new family interview or potentially a spot in a grade-level wait pool.  

**Wait pool applicants will be considered for any future spots that become available.  Our wait pool is unranked and will remain active until August 1st.  Application fees are held for the duration of a student’s time in the wait pool and become non-refundable once an interview is completed.
  

Applications will open on February 18, 2025.  

In order to determine if the school model, environment and curriculum will be effective for both parties involved, we will interview all CCA prospective students and their parents.  The purpose of our interview process is to ensure that families align with the vision of CCA and that a solid partnership will be feasible.  We work hard to make sure our school is the most effective educational environment for all students enrolled.  The applicant and both parents are required to be in attendance, but your whole family is welcome to attend.  We will begin conducting New Family interviews beginning in early March.      
 

CCA will begin making admissions decisions and sending admissions emails in late-March.  These decisions will be made on a rolling basis throughout the spring for the grade levels in which we have available seats, and accepted students will then be invited to enroll.  Enrollment communicates your desire for your student to attend CCA, reserves his/her seat for the upcoming school year, and includes payment of the required annual Enrollment Fee ($300 per family - increases to $350 after June 1st).  Course Registration will follow in the coming weeks.
