Application Process
Step 1: Apply Online
- Complete the Online Application. Create an account and log in. Complete a New Student Application and submit the $100 application fee (non-refundable). Each student applying will require a separate application and fee. Before beginning the process, please have the following documents available to upload into the application: birth certification, immunizations, and current & previous year's report card.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- All prospective students, including incoming Kindergartners, are required to have up-to-date immunizations and birth certificates on file prior to school beginning.
- All 1st grade students are required to have a physical on file prior to school beginning. A "grace period" of 30 days is allowed for transfer students. When the school receives a student’s record and the "Report of Health Examination for School Entry" is included, there is no need to repeat the examination.
Step 2: Entrance Assessment
- (Grades 1st-8th) After the completion of the online application, a member of our admission team will reach out to schedule an on-campus entrance assessment.
- (Kindergarten) Prospective students will interview with our kindergarten team to determine if the student is ready for kindergarten at CMCS. During their interview with our team, students will be asked to demonstrate their fine motor skill abilities by using scissors, holding a pencil, writing their name, tracing, and drawing a picture. Students will also be asked to identify capital and lowercase letters, numbers 0-10, shapes, and colors. After the interview, our team will meet to determine if the student is ready for kindergarten at CMCS.

Additional Acceptance Requirements
Personal Faith
Prospective students must possess a genuine desire to grow in their Christian faith. Because of our strong commitment to a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, it is expected that a parent and their children have a personal faith in Jesus Christ.
Church Attendance
To assist in the development of Christian character and lifestyle, we require that at least one parent is born again and attending a Bible-teaching church on a regular basis (3-4 times per month). In addition, we require that 7th and 8th grade students are born again and regularly attend church. Regular church attendance by both parents and students goes hand-in-hand with church and school goals. The teaching of the Bible is approached with emphasis on the inerrancy of the original Scriptures, the need for salvation through faith in Jesus Christ as personal Savior, and the ministry of the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit that enables the Christian to live a godly life.
