CHOICE Application Deadlines for All 8th Grade Applicants
Regardless of what district you live in or what preferences you may qualify for (Red Clay residents, siblings of students attending CSW, children of full-time employees of the CSW, and children of employees of the CSW's founding corporations), we encourage you to consider two or more options for your child.
Admission is highly competitive and unfortunately, there are always well qualified students who do not gain admission.
You do not need to complete a CHOICE application to attend Charter.
If your alternate plans ARE NOT to attend the high school in your district, please check your district website for CHOICE deadlines.
