If you have questions about any part of the admission process, please feel free to call the Admissions Office at 501.227.7077, ext. 368. You may also call to schedule a tour of our campuses.

Step 1. The Application: Parents/guardians wishing to enroll their child should complete the application in full. (Students in grades 7-12 must complete and/or have forwarded required supplements.)
