Admissions Process

Criteria

Charlotte Country Day seeks to bring together a group of young and capable students who will benefit from the challenges of our school's outstanding program. The Admissions Committee carefully evaluates each candidate on the basis of a personal interview, admissions tests, previous academic record, and teacher recommendations.
We look for evidence of good character, intellectual ability, emotional maturity, curiosity, and breadth of interests. Country Day best serves those who are prepared and motivated to meet the requirements of a rigorous academic program.
