Carmel New Church School - FAQs
Admissions
Q: How do I enroll my child at CNCS?
A: Enrollment begins with submitting a request for a family tour. After the tour, we’ll guide you through the application process. For details, visit our Admissions Page.
Q: What grades do you offer?
A: CNCS offers programs from Kindergarten through Grade 8, providing a complete elementary and middle school experience.
Q: How much does it cost to attend CNCS?
A: We are very fortunate to receive generous support from our church and wider community, which helps subsidize the true cost of education at Carmel New Church School.
Without this support, the cost to educate a student would be just over $20,000 per year. Thanks to these community donations, families contribute only a portion of the overall cost, making a CNCS education more accessible to many families.
We are happy to discuss this in more detail and answer any questions as part of the admissions process.
