The Admission Process
Dear Parents,
Thank you for your interest in our school. We are delighted that you are considering becoming part of the KCP community.
The following information outlines the general admissions process and the documentation required to apply to our school.
All completed applications are carefully reviewed by the Admissions Committee. Admission decisions are based on several factors, including space availability, entrance assessment results, the applicant’s academic history (grades, standardized test scores, and disciplinary record), and the student’s readiness to successfully participate in our academic program.
If space is not available in the grade level applied for, the student may be placed on a waiting list. Families will be contacted should a space become available.
As KCP is a bilingual institution, applicants must demonstrate proficiency in both oral and written English to be considered for admission. For example, students applying to First Grade are expected to have an English level comparable to that of a typical KCP First Grade student. English proficiency is not required for applicants applying to STEM or Pre-Kinder.
Please note that applications are only reviewed once all required documents have been submitted and the applicant’s file is complete.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Admissions Office by phone at 317-831-5381 or by email at adelar@kcparrish.edu.co.
We look forward to learning more about your family.

Estimados padres de familia:
Gracias por su interés en nuestro colegio. Nos complace saber que están considerando formar parte de la comunidad de KCP.
La siguiente información describe el proceso general de admisión y la documentación requerida para presentar una solicitud a nuestro colegio.
Todas las solicitudes completas son cuidadosamente revisadas por el Comité de Admisiones. Las decisiones de admisión se basan en varios factores, incluyendo la disponibilidad de cupo, los resultados de las evaluaciones de admisión, el historial académico del aspirante (calificaciones, resultados de pruebas estandarizadas y antecedentes disciplinarios) y la disposición del estudiante para participar exitosamente en nuestro programa académico.
Si no hay disponibilidad de cupo en el grado solicitado, el estudiante podrá ser ubicado en una lista de espera. Las familias serán contactadas en caso de que se libere un cupo.
Dado que KCP es una institución bilingüe, los aspirantes deben demostrar competencia en inglés tanto oral como escrito para ser considerados en el proceso de admisión. Por ejemplo, los estudiantes que aplican a Primer Grado deben tener un nivel de inglés comparable al de un estudiante típico de Primer Grado en KCP. El dominio del inglés no es un requisito para los aspirantes que aplican a STEM o Pre-Kinder.
Tenga en cuenta que las solicitudes solo serán revisadas una vez que se hayan presentado todos los documentos requeridos y la solicitud del aspirante esté completa.
Si tienen alguna pregunta, no duden en comunicarse con la Oficina de Admisiones al teléfono 317-831-5381 o al correo electrónico adelar@kcparrish.edu.co.
Esperamos conocer más sobre su familia.
