Teacher Recommendation

As part of the admissions process, applicants are required to submit one Teacher Recommendation Form from a core academic teacher who knows the student well.

The form is a short, easy-to-complete Google Form. We recommend asking your teacher early, as recommendations can take 4–6 weeks to complete.

One core academic teacher (Math, Science, English, or History)

Your application is considered complete once we have received the recommendation.

Admissions Testing

Students who move forward in the admissions process will be invited to complete a free Admissions assessment in person, by appointment. This assessment, along with your student’s application helps our Admissions Team better understand their academic strengths and determine their initial academic profile.

We offer multiple testing opportunities throughout the admissions season. If you have questions or would like to schedule an Admissions assessment, please contact admissions@chinquapin.org.

Teacher Interviews

As part of the admissions process, students who move forward to this phase will have the opportunity to meet with members of our teaching team through a teacher-student interview. Interviews may be conducted virtually or in person and will be scheduled by the Admissions Team.

Preview Weekend

Students who are invited to Preview Weekend will have the opportunity to experience Chinquapin firsthand and spend time with our faculty, staff, and students. Throughout the weekend, students participate in classes, group activities, and other aspects of campus life, giving them a chance to learn more about Chinquapin while allowing our team to get to know them better.

Preview Weekend is designed to help students experience our community, explore their interests, and get a feel for what life at Chinquapin is like. It is an important and exciting part of the admissions process and a wonderful opportunity for us to get to know one another.

Preview Weekend will take place February 12–14, 2027.

Admissions Decisions

Following the completion of the admissions process, families will receive their student’s admissions decision within the designated admissions decision timeline. Students who are admitted to Chinquapin will receive a special admissions package celebrating their acceptance and welcoming them to the Chinquapin community.

Families will have two weeks to review, sign, and return their enrollment commitment.

We can’t wait to welcome our newest Chinquapin students!

Financial Aid

At Chinquapin, we believe an exceptional college-preparatory education should be accessible to families from a wide range of financial circumstances.

Tuition is based on household income and family size, and most families pay only a portion of the actual cost of a Chinquapin education.

See our Tuition & Affordability page to estimate your monthly tuition.

Chinquapin accepts TEFA vouchers. For more information, please visit their website or contact our office at 281-426-5551.
