Admissions

Application Process

Applying to NCS

 
We accept students year-round, provided there is space available in the desired grade. Applications can be submitted over a year in advance.

Admissions Checklist and Forms

To streamline the admissions process, please provide the following:
  • For preschool applications, please complete the online application. After submission, a 45-minute observation will be scheduled with the preschool director.

  • For Kindergarten through 5th grade: Submit a completed application along with either a shadow day or readiness test (exceptions may apply for out-of-town applicants).

  • For 6th–12th grade: A completed application, the most recent report card, and standardized test scores are required for consideration. While a shadow day is recommended, it is not mandatory.
Upon acceptance, a non-refundable registration fee of $250 is required for all grade levels.

Before the first day of school, the following documents are necessary: Florida Health Form 680, Florida Health Form 3040, a copy of the student’s birth certificate, and a copy of the student’s social security card.
