Applying To CHS
Rolling Admissions
While our regular deadline has passed, we are still accepting new student applications for a limited number of spots on a rolling basis.
Ready To Get Started?
Request Transcripts from Current School
Records should be from all schools attended from 6th grade forward; please submit the Authorization for Release/Exchange of Record Information form to your student’s school(s) to request transcripts.
Apply
Step 1: Create a new account* by clicking here and then choose “register” on the bottom right. You will receive an email to set up your password.
Step 2: Once you receive your second email with your user ID, you may log in here. Once you are logged in, please follow the instructions on the screen.
*Please note that current families should not create a new account. Please log in to your portal, go to “My School” on the left, choose “Enrollment”, “Online Portal”, then “Add a New Student”.
Request Letters of Recommendation
Recommendations should be from adults unrelated to the applicant, who are familiar with the applicant’s academic progress. Two recommendations are required, and at least one should come from a current teacher. Letters should be emailed directly or mailed to the school by the recommender.
(OPTIONAL)
Apply For Financial Aid
Parents/guardians may apply for Free Tuition or Financial Aid by filling out the appropriate form and submitting their most recent tax return. We have never yet let financial concerns prevent an accepted student from attending CHS, so we encourage all families who may need some assistance to apply.
(OPTIONAL)
Submit Portfolio
Students may also submit additional samples of work, including writings, artwork, photographs, videos, computer programs, graphics, etc., whatever you would like to show us! You will have the option to upload your portfolio work (or a document containing links to multiple pieces of work) within the online application. Please note that you can only upload one file in the application, so multiple files would need to be compressed and uploaded as a .zip file. Photographs/digital images of artwork are acceptable, as are originals/physical submissions. If you submit your original artwork, we will return your pieces to you!
Visit / Interview
After reviewing student application materials, the admissions team may invite the student for a visit / interview. If a student is asked to come for a visit, they will spend a full day (9:00am – 5:00pm) in person on the CHS campus in Roanoke, observing classes, interviewing with faculty and staff, and meeting current students.
Essay
After the interview, the applicant will submit an essay. The topic will be assigned at the interview.
Submitting Materials
We will accept materials via email, mail, or fax. You may submit materials as they are completed.
