ICS Admissions

Finding the right school for your child is a process, and the first step in learning about Indian Creek is to request an information packet, which contains 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. The tour includes a personal meeting which focuses on your child, a tour of the building and the classrooms, and a discussion of the curriculum.

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

Admission at the Early Childhood (Lower School) Level

The initial point of entry for Indian Creek Students is at the pre-kindergarten level for four year olds (children must be four years old by August 31st).

For the early childhood program, students are considered for entry on a first come, first served basis. This is a decision that is rooted in our philosophy. These young children are evaluated in January to assess probable readiness for school and are then offered admission based on the dates of their application.

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. We work as hard as possible to make the process fair to everyone.

Admission at the Middle and Upper School Levels

We also have major points of entry at grade six and at grade nine.

For middle school and high school, there are test days during which students are tested in small groups. We use standardized tests and writing samples that are also used in our school with our own student body.

The admission folder also contains the application form, a parent questionnaire and, in the case of high school students, the student's own comments on the application. Completed folders are placed in order based on application date.
