Admission Process

I. APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION

Application materials are available from and may be submitted to the Admission Office on the Jackson T. Stephens Campus. You may either complete the online admission form, print and mail the application form and supporting documents, or pick up an application packet in our Admissions Office. Application materials include the Application Form, a Request for Records Form, a Parent Questionnaire (for grades Pre-K3 to 5), and a Confidential Reacher Recommendation Form (for grades 2-12). When applying:

Complete the application material(s) in full.
	Pre-K3 through 1^st Grade Application
	2^nd through 5^th Grade Application
	6^th through 12^th Grade Application

Please remember to sign and date the application (if applying online, acceptance of terms of agreement acts as an electronic signature.) Incomplete applications will not be processed.
Submit the $50 application fee (payable to Episcopal Collegiate School.)
Priority deadline for new applications for the 2010-2011 academic year is November 30, 2009. Early decision letters will be mailed in mid-December. Applications turned in later than November 30, 2009 will continue to be considered as long as space is available.
Applicants will be notified of an admission decision once all steps of the process have been completed.

II. STUDENT RECORDS

Parents of applicants should fill out and submit to their child's current school the Request for Records Form in order to have report cards, standardized scores, and health records released to the Admission Office. At that time, the child's current school will mail records directly to Episcopal Collegiate School.

III. TEACHER RECOMMENDATION FORM

All applicants who have attended school previously must have the Recommendation Form completed by a current academic teacher. If the applicant has more than one teacher, select the teacher who has worked most closely with and who can give the most in-depth assessment of the applicant. Please provide the teacher with the enclosed self-addressed, stamped envelope in which to return the recommendation form directly to Episcopal Collegiate School. Teacher recommendation forms are confidential.

IV. ADMISSION TESTING

Applicants for Pre-K3, Pre-K4, Kindergarten and first grade will be required to attend an observation session lasting approximately 30-90 minutes depending on grade. Applicants for grades 2 - 12 will be required to sit for admission testing. Please contact the Admission Office to schedule testing.

V. INTERVIEW

Parents or legal guardians of all applicants are asked to meet with the Director of Admission for an interview. In most cases, the interview will be scheduled in conjunction with the applicant's admission observation or test. The Director of Admission for grades Pre-K3 through 5 is Mary Jane Briggs at mjbriggs@episcopalcollegiate.org. The Director of Admission for grades 6-12 is Ashley Honeywell at ahoneywell@episcopalcollegiate.org. Either may be reached at (501)372-1194.
