Application Process

Would you like to partner with Knox Classical School to give your student a rigorous classical Christian education that will equip him or her to know and love the truth?  Email us at info@knoxkc.org for information about enrolling for the 2024—2025 school year, and read on for information about the 2025—2026 admissions cycle.

Current School Year (2024—2025)

  • Enrollment Before School Begins on August 12:  Families wishing to apply for admission for the 2024—2025 school year should email info@knoxkc.org.  Please note that late enrollments are subject to an increased enrollment fee to offset the extra costs of ordering curriculum outside our bulk orders for the year and that some books may not have arrived before the start of school.
  • Enrollment After School Starts on August 12:  Given the rigorous and sequential nature of Knox Classical’s curricula, students applying for admission in the middle of the school year are handled on a case-by-case basis. Qualified candidates may enter after the school year starts only with the Head of School’s approval and may be required to make up certain work.  Email info@knoxkc.org for more information.

Upcoming School Year (2025—2026)

Knox Classical School will accept applications for students entering kindergarten through fourth grade for the 2025—2026 school year.  See below for key dates and our admissions process.

Enrollment Decisions Due - Standard Deadline

Applications submitted after March 31, 2025, will be considered, but if the family receives an offer of enrollment, it will be subject to an increased enrollment fee per student to offset the increased costs of purchasing curriculum and supplies outside of our main orders for the school year.  Likewise, families who receive an offer of enrollment but enroll after April 30, 2025, will be subject to an increased enrollment fee per student.  Families should also understand that some books may be backordered as the start of the school year approaches. 

Application Steps

Step One:  Attend an Info Meeting

Attending an info meeting is the first step in our application process.  We'll introduce you to our Board of Directors and administrators, describe our classical Christian methodology, and explain how our collaborative model gives your student the best of traditional schooling and homeschooling.  You'll also have a chance to preview our robust curriculum, and you'll be invited to apply after attending the meeting.

Sunday, October 6, 12:30—2:00pm

Sunday, November 3, 12:30—2:00pm

Sunday, January 5, 12:30—2:00pm

Info Meeting RSVP

Step Two:  Complete the Family and Student Applications and Pay the Application Fee

We'll email you links to our Family Application and Student Application after you attend an info meeting.  Complete those applications and pay a one-time $150 application fee to apply for admission.  


As a part of your Family Application, we'll ask both parents to read one of two great, short works on classical Christian education:  An Introduction to Classical Education, by Christopher Perrin, or The Lost Tools of Learning, by Dorothy Sayers.  We'll also ask you to read carefully our Knox Classical School Family Handbook.

Step Three:  Application Review and Family Interview

Our admissions team reviews application materials in the order received starting on the first day of the month after receiving your application.  In other words, we will review all applications received during January in the order in which they were received starting on February 1, and we'll review all applications received during February starting on March 1.


Our team will contact advancing families to schedule a family interview.  This gives us a chance to get to know you better and confirm that our classical, Christian, collaborative model is a good fit for your family.  Before this interview, you'll administer a brief academic assessment to your student to provide his or her teacher with information about his or her academic strengths and weaknesses.


You'll receive an email within two weeks of your interview with an acceptance or denial of admission.

Why Choose Classical, Christian Education?

Knox Classical School admits students of any race, sex, color, or national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally afforded or made available to students at the school.  Knox Classical School does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, or national or ethnic origin in administering the school’s educational policies and practices; admission, financial assistance, and scholarship policies; or athletic and other school-administered programs.  Knox Classical School reserves the right to select students on the basis of academic performance. 

As a religious educational organization, Knox Classical School reserves the right to use religion in hiring and admission because of its objective, mission, and vision as a Christian, faith-based institution.  Knox Classical School believes that it partners with parents seeking to fulfill their responsibility under Deuteronomy 6 and Ephesians 6 by providing a Christian education to children.  Knox Classical School thus discriminates on the basis of religion and conduct based on its religious beliefs.  This includes the religious commitment, lifestyle choices, and personal conduct of students and families, as well as their willingness to abide by Knox Classical School’s policies and cooperate with its administrators.  At times, a family’s lifestyle may be in such conflict with or opposition to Knox Classical School’s Statement of Faith that the school may, within its sole discretion, determine that it is not in the best interest of the student or the school to admit the student or continue the student’s enrollment.  For how “[d]o two walk together, unless they have agreed to meet?”  (Amos 3:3).
