The Admissions Process

The list below outlines the necessary steps for submitting your child’s completed application to Community Partnership School. As an independent (or private) school, we have our own unique admission process. Each step of the journey helps the School to get to know the prospective student and their family well and to assure that the students that join our school community are prepared to grow, thrive and take full advantage of all that CPS has to offer. Feel free to contact the Office of Enrollment with any questions about our admission process. We look forward to getting to know you and your family.
