Enrollment Information

Students and a teacher walking into the school together

We invite you to experience the CALE Difference!

Joining a new school community is a big milestone, and at The CALE School, we aim to make that transition as smooth and welcoming as possible.
Get started by completing our online Admissions Inquiry. We want to hear about what you and your student are looking for.
Submit an Inquiry

Our step-by-step enrollment process:

Step 1: Complete a CALE Statement of Interest Form

This form helps us to learn about you, your student(s), and what interests you about CALE.
Complete the Form

Step 2: Schedule a Tour

After we receive your Interest Form, we'll reach out to you to set up a tour of our school. We love to show families and students around the school, introduce you to teachers, and answer any questions you may have.

Step 2.5: For High School Students Only

All prospective high school applicants must complete an admissions application and schedule an interview to ensure the program aligns with the student’s future goals. Application materials and interview scheduling information will be provided after the initial tour. If admitted, families will receive the official enrollment application. Students transitioning from CALE Middle School will follow a separate admissions process.

Step 3: Submit Your Application & Deposit

Enrollment applications are accepted year-round. Submit your application along with a non-refundable $250 deposit to secure your student’s enrollment.

Step 4: Join us for a Shadow Day

Your student can join us for a full day to experience CALE first-hand, meet other students, and see what a typical school day looks like. It’s a great opportunity for us to get to know your student and for your child to get a glimpse of the CALE difference!

Step 5: Ongoing Support

You are never navigating this process alone. We are here to provide guidance and support every step of the way.
