• Step 2: Visit Calvary Campus for a Tour or Open House

  We believe that the best way to experience our school is to come and see it for yourself. We will host two Open Houses this Fall. Additionally, we invite you to schedule a personal tour to gain deeper insight into the wonderful programs and people that make up Calvary Christian School. Learn more about our curriculum and meet our administrative team as well as current Calvary parents, and enjoy a full tour of our beautiful campus.  
  
  Once you've submitted an Inquiry Form, you will have access to schedule a personal campus tour or register for an Open House event (which includes a campus tour). We encourage families to begin the process with this touch point so that we can begin building our relationship with one another.

• Step 4: Request Recommendations & Transcripts

  Once you have submitted your child's application, please request the necessary supplemental materials from your child's admission checklist. Please note that requirements vary by grade so please complete the requests for each applying child.
  
  All Recommendation Forms for 2026-27 will be available in your MyCCS portal under your checklist.  You will submit requests directly to your recommenders via email through the checklist in your MyCCS portal. Your requested recommenders will be able to submit their recommendation forms directly to us once completed. You will need the recommender's name and email address to complete these requests. 
  
  The Administrator Recommendation form should be completed by your child's current Head of School/Principal or Preschool Director. The Teacher Recommendation forms should be sent to your child's current teacher(s).
  
  These forms can be completed after November 1, 2025, but submitted no later than January 9, 2026. 
  
  If you attend a school that has a district policy against submitting letters of recommendation, don't worry! Just email us to let us know. If another mentor, coach or tutor can write an email or letter of support on behalf of your child, we welcome their contribution to the process. 

• Step 5: Interview with the Admissions Office

  Interviews will be offered from December to February with Mommy and Me and Preschool applicant families interviewing first. Once you have submitted your application(s), you can self-schedule your family's interview in the MyCCS portal. You only need to schedule one interview for your whole family. 
  
  You must submit your application before you can schedule an interview. Interviews for the families applying for the 2026-27 school year will be held on campus.

These records can be uploaded into the system or emailed to pangelich@calvarychristian.org.

• Step 7: Schedule Your Student Assessment or Visit

  Once your application is complete, please self-select a date and time for your child to come for either their assessment or campus visit (depending on their grade) within your MyCCS admission check list. Please make sure to schedule a visit for each child within their grade level check list.

• Step 8: 5th-8th Graders Complete the ISEE Exam

  5th to 8th grade students applying to join us at Calvary are kindly asked to complete the ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam). While we want students to do their best, the admissions committee will consider their test scores along with their grades, recommendations, and other standardized scores that we receive.
  
  While normal preparation is suggested (like becoming familiar with the format and types of questions) students do not need to complete test prep courses or study extensively before completing the at-home exam. You can learn more about how to register for the ISEE At Home here (coming soon). Please make sure all test scores are made available to Calvary by January 9th, 2026.
