Admissions

The Application Process

CCDS endeavors to accommodate all students who apply for admission; however, because applications for admission exceed the number of spaces available, CCDS uses a computerized random selection process to determine admission status and the waiting list. Spaces are allocated to form a student body that reflects the demographics of the region in which the school is located.

For the 2022-23 School Year

The application window for the 2022-23 school year is closed and the random selection has already taken place. Interested families are encouraged to submit an application to be placed on the waiting list for openings that may become available throughout the school year. See our How to Apply section below for instructions on our application process.

How to Apply

CCDS conducts our admissions process through School Mint. School Mint can be accessed here, from the Apply Now button on our website homepage, or through the School Mint app available at the Apple Store / iOS or Google Play / Android. 

Please note, CCDS cannot meet and discuss applicants who are on the waiting list. If you have a child on the waiting list, please know that you will be contacted if your child is selected.  Your waitlist number will be available to view in your School Mint account.
