Welcome!

We're glad you're here.  Take a few moments to browse our website and learn more about our school programs and community.  See useful admissions related links to the right, or browse current events and deadlines below. 

CWA admissions are selective and earliest-possible application is encouraged, as there are limited places in each class.

Important Dates in February:

Applicants for Beginning School and Kindergarten are encouraged to apply this month.  This will allow time for one-on-one testing to be completed before our group observation dates on March 6 & 13, 2010. 

Applicants for all other grades are also encouraged to turn in applications this month to allow time for  follow up steps, testing and school visits to be completed before February 15th when we will begin review of applicant files.

ISEE Exam Dates for Preferential Admissions Consideration:
All Applicants to the 6-12th grades are required to take the Independent School Entrance Exam.  The next date we offer this exam is Saturday, February 6, 2010.  Testing on this date will allow you to complete this admissions requirement before our application deadline for preferential consideration on February 15. 

Student Visits & Lower School Assessments:
All applicants to Charles Wright are asked to do a partial or full day visit to the school on a day when classes are in session.  January is a great month to schedule your visit.  (Beginning School & Kindergarten applicants will schedule an observation day rather than a visit).

Middle & Upper School applicants are encouraged to visit on Tuesdays or Fridays from 8-12, please call us to schedule your visit as spaces are limited.  

Lower School applicants please call to select dates for a visit and an assessment.  Visit days are flexible with your schedule, however, assessment time slots are limited, so please call soon.

Application Deadlines

Applications for Beginning School and Kindergarten are now being accepted on a rolling admission basis, but as soon as possible.  This will allow time for one-on-one testing to be completed before our group observation dates on March 6 & 13, 2010. After that time we will continue to accept applications on a space available basis.

Applications for Grades 1-12 are due on February 15, 2010.  Applications completed by this date will be guaranteed review in our first round of decisions.  Applications received after February 15th will be considered on a rolling admissions, space-available basis. 

Girls & Boys Basketball Season is Underway

Charles Wright's winter sports season has begun with games in December & January.  Check out their schedules and please join us for a game to see the Tarriers in action.  Please give us a call in Admissions if you would like a complimentary game ticket.
