ADMISSIONS APPLICATION PROCESS

List of 12 frequently asked questions.

  • Do you track attendance at admissions events and/or contact with the admissions office?

    No, Campbell Hall does not track visits to campus or contact with our admissions office. There are many opportunities for families to experience our school community throughout the admissions season. You are welcome to visit the school when you can. We also understand that children have busy lives and want to help minimize the number of days that students have to miss school or other activities. We love seeing you, however please do not feel like you must come to all events in order to show a demonstrated interest in the school.

  • How will I know that my application is complete?

    Your application is complete once you have interviewed, completed testing, and all paperwork has been received. You will hear from us in early to mid-February if we see you are still missing paperwork. You are welcome to continue checking your online application portal to see the progress of your paperwork as items are processed by our office. Please note that the admissions office is not able to offer “real time” missing item information until after January 31, 2025.

  • How many openings does Campbell Hall have in each grade?

    Our main entry points are Kindergarten, 7th grade and 9th grade, with a few additional students added in 6th grade. We typically admit 44-46 new students in Kindergarten and add approximately 10 new students in 6th grade, 60-65 new students in 7th grade, and 30-35 new students in 9th grade. We may also have a few openings at the other grade levels as well, based on attrition.

  • What is your sibling and legacy admissions policy?

    Campbell Hall is well known for its strong sense of community, however, Admissions Decisions are influenced by a variety of factors such as the strength of a particular application in comparison to the overall applicant pool, space availability in a particular grade, availability of financial aid funding, and overall enrollment goals.

    While the Admissions Committee does their best to prioritize siblings, children of employees, and legacy families, particularly those applying to kindergarten and 7th grade, we are unable to guarantee admission for any applicant and encourage families to have a back up plan in case their child is not admitted to Campbell Hall.
