The parent interview allows the parents to get to know Cambridge more intimately and helps us to ascertain your family’s alignment with our core mission, vision, and values. 

This will only be scheduled once the steps above have been completed. Both parents/guardians must read An Introduction to Classical Education by Dr. Christopher Perrin prior to attending.

This is a mandatory part of the Admission process for 5th-9th Grade applicants. 

We believe this is the best way to experience the Cambridge culture. We welcome prospective students to visit the school for the morning or a full day of classes with a current student. For 5th-9th only.
