Admission Priority
Admission Priority
The following students are given priority regarding admission: 1) applicants with siblings currently enrolled; 2) children of faculty members; 3) applicants whose parents are parishioners of Christ Episcopal Church; 4) the general public. When a class reaches maximum enrollment, a waiting pool is developed consisting of all qualified applicants, and parents will be notified should a vacancy occur.
The minimum requirement for admission to preschool, kindergarten and first grade is an evaluation result showing the readiness age score to be equal to or exceed the child’s age at the date of the evaluation. Currently enrolled students moving to kindergarten and first grade are administered a readiness evaluation if their readiness is in question. Same applies to incoming second to fifth grade students who may be administered portions of a standardized test to evaluate learned knowledge. Their scores must be in the average to above average range. Prospective students who do not meet the minimum scoring of average to above average range will generally not be accepted for admission to Christ Episcopal School.
