The Application Process

Easy - Four Step Admissions Process

CTK is no longer accepting applications for all students for the 2025-26 school year. Student recruitment for the 26/27 school year will begin on September 2nd, 2025.

Our Admissions Team does not accept applications for mid-year transfer students or rising seniors. Please see below for the updated admissions process.

  1. Complete an Application – CTK does not require an entrance exam. We accept applications from current 8th graders and transfer students up until junior year.

    Take advantage of our easy online application process for the 26/27 school year starting 9/2/25.   

Applications can also be emailed (starting 9/2/25):

If you have the ability to scan or take clear pictures of a paper application, you may do so and then email the scanned completed application to one of our team members, Ms. Sandra Briseño ([email protected]) or Ms. Nique Thomas ([email protected]).

  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 and email 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 for the upcoming school year. With the acceptance email and letter, there will be directions on how to submit registration fees. 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. Accepted students are not guaranteed a space unless the registration fee is paid.

Please Note: Accepted students who successfully complete the admissions process must also be in attendance at 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.
