Enrollment Process
CCNS begins accepting applications for current and returning families in February. Open enrollment begins in March. Children are accepted based on the receipt date of the completed application and fee. A non-refundable fee of $50 ($55 when paying online via PayPal, including the $5 processing fee) must accompany your application.
Once your application has been reviewed, we will email you to confirm whether a space is available for your child. If a space is available, you will then receive an enrollment contract that will need to be returned along with a non-refundable tuition deposit before the start of school. The tuition deposit is applied to your final tuition payment of the school year.
