How to APPLY for Middle School

 

Middle School applications that we receive for the 23-24 school year will be on a waitlist.

 

Step 1: COME MEET US

• Please schedule a time to join us for a shadow visit. We believe spending time on campus is a vital part of seeing what we have to offer.  Prospective Middle School families may schedule a shadow visit after October 15, 2022. Click here to schedule. Earlier shadow days are reserved for prospective high school families who have an earlier application deadline.

Step 2: TIME TO APPLY

• Applying to Chaminade is simple! Just click here to create an account in a Parent Portal that takes you to our application.  
• Chaminade also accepts the EMA/SSAT Standard Application Online but you will also be required to complete Chaminade's application. The application fee is waived if you have already paid through the EMA/SSAT system.
• You will be asked to upload an educational evaluation, if applicable, along with your application. After uploading the educational evaluation you will be able to schedule a meeting with the Middle School Learning Consultant on the Parent Portal. 
• A $50 application fee is required.
• Middle School applications are due January 31, 2023.

Step 3: WE NEED YOUR TRANSCRIPTS!

• Please sign and submit the Transcript Release and Teacher Recommendation Form to your son's current school. A teacher recommendation is not required but is appreciated. Your school will send Chaminade your son's official transcripts, test results, and information from the past three years. 

Regarding Testing:

Chaminade requires a current, national standardized test, such as the Iowa Basics/ITBS, MAP, Stanford Achievement, or ERB for admissions review. Although not required, we do accept the Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT). Please visit www.ssat.org to register. Test scores may be sent directly to us by entering Chaminade as a recipient. We will evaluate the most recent test in the student's academic file.

Step 4: SCHEDULE YOUR FAMILY MEETING

• Once you've applied to Chaminade via the online application, you'll see a link in your application checklist on the Parent Portal in January to sign-up for a Family Meeting with a member of our Admissions team.

NOTE: Applications are due by January 31, 2023. Applications will be reviewed by the Admissions Council for those applicants with complete checklists beginning in February.
