Admissions Testing
Student records will be carefully evaluated during the application process. The following testing is required in addition to progress reports and standardized testing from the past two years:
- Preschool Applicants: Developmental assessment administered individually
- Kindergarten Applicants: Kindergarten Readiness Test administered individually
- 1st Grade Applicants: Scholastic School Readiness Test administered individually and in small groups
- 2nd Grade Applicants and Higher: WRAT 4, Wide Range Achievement Test administered individually and in small groups
Application Timeline
- Applications are accepted beginning September 1 of the year preceding the year for which application is being made.
- Testing occurs January through March.
- Interviews are scheduled when all required application materials are received.
- Current CCS families re-enroll in January. Letters notifying applicants of admission decisions are sent in March and April. While CCS continues to accept applications all year, many classes are full following the first round of acceptances in March. In order to be considered in that group of applicants, all application forms, testing, and the interview should be completed before March 1.
- If an applicant is qualified to attend CCS but there are no spaces available in his or her grade, the applicant’s name will be placed in a wait pool. Wait pools are not prioritized lists. When and if an opening becomes available, the Admission Committee will convene and select the most appropriate candidate for the opening. Openings occur throughout the spring and summer, and new students are added to the grades where those openings occur.
- Crossings Christian School gives priority to qualified siblings of current CCS students.
- A child must be 3 years old by September 1 to start PS3 class and 4 years old by September 1 to start PS4/5 class. Students must be 5 years of age by September 1 to begin kindergarten, no exceptions. All early childhood applicants must be able to care for restroom needs independently.
