Enrollment

Before you apply, we strongly encourage you to attend an information session and take a school tour to see if CNS is a good match for you and your child.

Enrollment is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Completed admissions applications should be submitted along with a $75.00 processing fee. CNS offers three admission tracks:

Early Admissions

Early Admissions applications are received and reviewed on a rolling basis from November 15th-January 15th each year. Admissions decisions are made within 15 days of the receipt of an application. A completed enrollment contract and non-refundable deposit are due within 15 days of acceptance. If you choose not to submit a contract and deposit, your child can be considered again as part of regular or extended admissions.

Regular Admissions

Regular Admissions applications must be submitted by January 30th. Acceptance letters are sent on February 28th. A completed enrollment contract and non-refundable deposit are due within 30 days of acceptance.

Extended Admissions

If spaces become available, CNS will accept and admit students until the beginning of the school year. A completed enrollment contract and non-refundable deposit are due within 15 days of acceptance.
