Admissions FAQs

List of 7 items.

• How much does it cost to apply?

  Each application must be submitted with a non-refundable $150 application fee.

• What do I need to include with my application?

  Please refer to the "Application Process" steps on this web page.

• How are students selected for admission?

  The role of the Admission Committee is to choose candidates with qualities indicative of success in the demanding academic program of the school. Evaluation is based upon entrance exams scores, past and current academic records, recommendations from the applicant’s teacher or principal, and an applicant's interview. We seek students who demonstrate above-average ability and interest in a broad and challenging educational program.

• When will we receive our admission decision?

  Admission decisions are emailed on March 14, 2025.

• Are siblings and legacies given special consideration?

  We recognize the desire to enroll brothers and sisters in the same school. However, the right school for one child may not be the right school for a sibling. Siblings will only be admitted if they have demonstrated qualities likely to lead to their success at Calvary Day School. Siblings of current students and children of alumni and legacy families who have sustained a relationship with the school since graduating will be given preference when all other factors are equal. It is recommended that all families apply to other schools because admission cannot be guaranteed.

• Does my child need to be fluent in English to attend Calvary Day School?

  Yes. Calvary Day School does not offer an ESL program.

• Do you accept new students in the middle of the year?

  If you're considering a mid-year transfer to Calvary Day School, please contact our Admissions Office at admissions@calvarydayschool.com for more information. While we will do our best to accommodate your request, please be aware that mid-year transfers are subject to availability. Our team will guide you through the process and discuss potential options based on current circumstances.
