Families Applying for Grades 1–6

List of 3 items.

  • Application Deadlines

    Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year, following a parent tour and interview. Families who have submitted completed applications by January 15, will have the greatest opportunity to be considered for the first round of spaces that become available for the following September.

  • Tours, Interviews, and Assessments

    After November 1, 2019
    Parents interested in placement in Grades 1-6 may visit Carlthorp School for a tour and interview for their child(ren) seeking enrollment for the following year.

    Prospective students undergo an admissions assessment when student openings are determined, typically beginning in February of each year.

    Students to be assessed are selected from an applicant pool and a wait-pool. Carlthorp School strives to select students who are the best “match” for the class and for the space that has become available. We do not keep a numerical list.
