  1. Attend Family Interview Day – Eligible candidates and at least one parent/guardian will be interviewed in person by CTK administration. Interviews will last approximately 30 minutes.

Applicants will receive an email of confirmation that details the date and time for their family interview. Early Action interviews will take place from mid-November through the beginning of December.

  1. Confirm Receipt of Decision – After the Family Interviews have been conducted, the Admissions Committee will review completed application files. The committee's review may take one to two weeks as long as all required supplemental documents are submitted. Each family will be notified via phone, email, and through postal mail by the Admissions Office once a decision of acceptance or denial has been made.
  2. Pay Registration Fee – Accepted students who plan to attend CTK must register to secure their seat in the upcoming school year. With the acceptance email and letter, there will be directions on how to submit registration fees and the financial aid application. The non-refundable registration fee of $50 must be paid online or in person. Registration fees will be received from accepted students on a first come first serve basis. CTK will not have a waiting list or lottery for students who fail to complete the Admissions process.

Please Note: Accepted students who successfully complete the admissions process must also successfully complete the mandatory Corporate Work-Study Program (CWSP) Summer Business Training for two weeks. Students who fail to register will not be allowed to participate in the CWSP Summer Business Training session.
