Early Childhood Application Grades K-12 Application
Applicants are encouraged to apply to Canterbury School early in the school year. When all application forms are received and a school visit and testing are complete, the admission committee will evaluate the materials and act upon the application. (Notification of the decision will be made after March 1 for Kindergarten applicants.) If the applicant is accepted, a contract will be sent and must be signed and returned with the required fees by the designated date. Once a grade is full, names of applicants for that grade are placed in a waiting pool.
Occasionally, a grade may have openings during the school year. As they occur, these openings may be filled from the pool of qualified applicants.
Admission decisions are based on the school’s commitment to its stated mission of academic excellence, cultural and ethnic diversity, and the recognition of special talents.
All applicants will be notified of the school’s admission decision as soon as possible. Please send all forms and letters of recommendation to:
Canterbury School
