The Admissions Process

As you begin your search for the right school for your child, you'll find a number of information sources that will help you evaluate your options. Websites, brochures, and current parents provide a good foundation for making your decision. The best source of information is your visit to the school to meet the admission staff, take a tour, observe students and teachers in action, and ask questions.

The first step in finding out about Indian Creek is to request an information packet. We will be happy to send you a packet containing a brochure, the fee structure and an application. The packet, in conjunction with this web site, should answer most of your general questions about the school.

In order to get a true sense of Indian Creek School, you should come for an Admission Tour. An Admission Tour includes a personal meeting which focuses on your child, a tour of the building and the classrooms, and a discussion of the curriculum. It provides an opportunity to share aspects of the program that might enrich the child's education or your specific issues pertinent to your child.

This visit is no less important if the child for whom you are seeking admission is a teenager than if he or she is a three year old. Every school has a different "school climate." If you visit two or three schools, you will notice that each "feels" different. You know your child best and you will quickly develop a sense of whether a school is the right match or not.

If you have not had a chance to schedule an Admission Tour, or if you would like a second look, you might want to attend our fall Open House.

• The initial point of entry for Indian Creek Students is at the pre-kindergarten level for three year olds.
• Children must be three years old by August 31st.
• We also have major points of entry at grade six and at grade nine. At each of these levels, we open new sections and accept students in addition to those moving up from our own lower grades.
• There are scattered openings available throughout the program due to attrition, but it is very difficult to assess how frequently those openings will occur and at which grade levels. These are handled on a case by case basis.
• Once an opening occurs, students spend a day at ICS, part of which includes admission testing.
