STEP THREE: STUDENT VISIT
Students will visit the school and meet the teacher. A screening will be given and the student will have an informal interview. Lower and Middle School students will need 2 teacher references and a transcript of grades for the current year.

STEP FOUR: STUDENT ADMISSION
When your child is determined to be a good fit for Capital Day School, a contract is offered by the Head of School. In the event that a contract is not offered, clear communication about the basis for the decision will be given.

You will be sent a contract online. Complete the enrollment contract along with a $175, non-refundable contract fee which secures a place for your child. Contracts are written for one school year OR the remainder of the school year if school has started.

Some families qualify for financial aid and awards can be granted.
Financial aid awards are determined in March for the upcoming school year.
