Step 1: Inquire
Completing an online inquiry form allows us to share information
about admission events and answer your questions about the
application process.
Submit an
inquiry to create your personal CavNET account and let’s get
the conversation started!
Step 2: Apply online
The 2021-22 priority admission deadline for all grade levels is
February 1, 2021. Application fees are waived prior to this date.
Applications submitted after this date will be considered on a
rolling basis and the standard $150 application fee will be
applied. Complete your online
application.
Step 3: Upload Application Documents & Request Teacher
Recommendations
Once you have completed our online application you’ll have access
to your child’s application checklist through your CavNET
account. The checklist outlines documents required for
applications, are dependent on grade level, and include grade
reports, standardized test scores and teacher recommendations.
Please upload grade reports and standardized test scores directly
to your child’s checklist. Teacher recommendations must be
requested directly from the checklist.
Step 4: Complete a Student Visit Day
Candidates complete a student visit and assessment as part of the
application process. This is an opportunity for us to get to know
your child and for them to experience what makes Country Day
special. Lower School candidates accomplish a playdate experience
or classroom visit, while Middle and High School candidates
attend a day of classes, meet current students and get acquainted
with faculty.
Step 5: Schedule a Parent Interview
We look forward to scheduling a parent interview, and this may be
accomplished during an initial parent tour. Interviews typically
take 30 minutes and can be completed either in-person or
virtually.
Contact admissions directly to schedule your
interview.
Step 6: Candidate Decision
Completed applications will be reviewed by the admission
committee. Once an admission decision is reached, you will be
notified by our office.
Candidates completing applications by the February 1, 2021
priority application deadline will be notified by February 12,
2021.
