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.
