Admissions Process
The following steps will help in guiding you through the application process. Steps 1-3 can be done in any order.
Prospective students are strongly encouraged to shadow a current student during the school day. Students shadowing will attend classes, meet teachers, coaches, fine arts teachers, as well as meet with someone from the admissions department during their shadow visit. You can begin to schedule a shadow day in September of the 8th grade year. To schedule a shadow day, complete the Inquiry Form and then a calendar link will be emailed to you in September! If a student attends one of Calvary's six partner schools, they can schedule an interview, instead of an individual shadow day, by contacting admissions@cchs.us.
The following items are required to complete the application file:
- Non-refundable Application Fee (Paid online as the last step when submitting the application.)

All prospective families with a current 8th grader or transfer student applying to Calvary for admission are required to have at least one parent attend a Prospective Parent Info Meeting with our Head of School, Mr. David Kilgore. Attendance by at least one parent is required before an admission decision will be considered. Student attendance at the Prospective Parent Info Meeting is optional.
*If you have a currently enrolled student at Calvary, you are exempt from this step.
Prospective Parent Info Meetings are held on the following dates from 6:00 PM - 7:15 PM:
- November 10, 2025
- December 8, 2025
- January 12, 2026
Reservations are not required. You are only required to attend one info meeting.
Students applying for admission will be evaluated on the basis of their academic, spiritual, and behavioral reports. For more information, click on Acceptance Criteria.
After an applicant's file is complete, the Admissions Committee reviews the file. Admissions decisions are communicated through email at the end of January.
All decisions are made without further comment. If the student is accepted, the family must complete the Online Enrollment and pay the first non-refundable deposit to secure the student's enrollment within two weeks of the notification of acceptance.
