3 – Assessment

After application submission, the admissions office will contact you to schedule your students assessments.


4 – Interview

The parent interview allows the parents to get to know Cambridge more intimately and helps us to ascertain your family’s alignment with our core mission, vision, and values.


This will only be scheduled once the steps above have been completed. Both parents/guardians must read An Introduction to Classical Education by Dr. Christopher Perrin prior to attending.

For 5th-9th Only


Schedule a “Student Visit Day”

This is a mandatory part of the Admission process for 5th-9th Grade applicants. We believe this is the best way to experience the Cambridge culture. We welcome prospective students to visit the school for the morning or a full day of classes with a current student.


5 – References

Upon receipt of your online application, the Admissions Office will send you the necessary forms for teacher and administrator recommendations as well as your student's current school records.


6 – Notification

Following written notification of acceptance, the applicant’s family has two weeks from the date of the acceptance letter to respond before that child’s seat is offered to others.


We can't wait to welcome you into this community of faith and learning.
