Middle School (Grades 6-8)

Applicants for Middle School are required to schedule a campus visit date with the Admissions Office.  Students will spend a full day on campus (8:45 a.m. – 1:45 p.m.) for this Panther Visit, which includes an admission entrance exam, a student interview with a member of the Middle School administration, shadowing classes with a current student, and attending lunch. Additionally, parent interviews are held with a member of the Admissions Team during this time. 
There are limited dates available for Panther Visits, thus interested students are strongly encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
         Additional Requirements & Forms
  • Online Application and Fee
