Step 1: Submit Online Application
All applicants must submit an online application. Upon submission of application, supporting documents, and online payment of the non-refundable application fee, the Admissions Department will notify the parent/guardian of next steps including if space is available in the desired grade level or if there is a wait pool.

Step 2: Review of School Records & Assessments
For incoming 1st-12th grade students, parents must provide a Records Request Form to the previous school. When students apply to ECS from another school whose standardized assessments differ from ours or from non-state accredited institutions such as homeschool, they will be required to meet minimum placement testing requirements in both Math and ELA for entrance into the desired grade level.
Step 3: Partnership Meeting with Principal
After review of the full application and records, the Admissions Committee will decide to schedule a partnership meeting with the principal for all students of families who would be new to ECS if the student meets admission criteria. The applicant and at least one parent/guardian will attend.
For current ECS families enrolling siblings, partnership meetings will be scheduled for new 1st-12th grade students. A meeting is only required for PS/PK/K students who are siblings of current families when the new student has special circumstances such as resource support needs.
