The Admission Process
Dear Parents, thank you for your interest in our school. The following information is necessary in order to complete the admission process.
The Admissions Committee will decide to accept or reject the admission of the applicant based on space availability, an entrance examination, and previous academic performance (grades, standardized test scores, and disciplinary record) for the grade applied. If no space is available, the application will be placed on a waiting list, and you will be contacted when space becomes available.
Please keep in mind that in order for the applicant to be admitted, he/she must be proficient in oral and written English. For example, if your child is entering First Grade, he/she must have a level of English comparable to that of an average KCP first-grade student. No English is necessary for those who are applying for Stem or Pre-Kinder.
Please remember that the application will not be processed until all the required documents are submitted.
If you need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone: at 605-359-8929 ext. 916 or by e-mail: at adelar@kcparrish.edu.co.
