• Step 3: Submit Records Request for Transcript – Due January 17, 2025

  The Release of Records Form can be found here or in the Admissions Checklist in My Concordia. A parent will need to download, print, sign, and submit the form to your child’s school counselor or principal at their current school. Your child’s school should return the form, official transcripts/school records, conduct record, and attendance record to our Admissions Office. We need to receive grades reflecting the students’ current performance and the previous two years. For example, for any student applying for the 9th grade, we need to receive the student’s final 6th and 7th-grade report card and the most up to date 8th-grade report card (Q1 or Q2 report card).
  
  We recommend documents are emailed. Records are due to Concordia Prep School by Friday, January 17, 2025.

  These forms can be found here and on the Admissions Checklist in MyConcordia. Records are due to Concordia Prep School by January 10, 2025.

  
  Concordia Prep requires two (2) common referral forms from the student’s current school academic teachers. We ask that one (1) form be from the student’s English teacher and one (1) from the student’s Math or Science teacher. More than two (2) referral forms are welcome to be submitted. We ask that you do not complete these forms before November 15th and return to the school to which the candidate is applying by January 17, 2025.

• Step 5: Admissions Interview

  An important and necessary component in the admissions process is the opportunity for the prospective student and family to meet with members of our Admissions Team.
