To sign up for a Showcase, a tour, register for an event and apply for admissions, please create a Carrollton Admission Portal account here. We look forward to getting to know you and helping you learn more about Carrollton! We ask that you file your application with consideration for the time required to test and interview your daughter, as well as to receive her records and recommendation forms. The Admission Committee strongly recommends that you apply early to ensure sufficient time to complete the student’s file.

The following items are required before the Admission Committee can consider an applicant’s file complete:

Application Form: Create a Carrollton Admissions Portal account to complete Steps 1-4 which includes an application fee of $125.

Academic Records including Standardized Test Scores and Teacher Recommendations: Carrollton requires two recommendations (Principal and Teacher recommendations) and records for the past 4 years your daughter has been in a school which must be submitted electronically by the student’s current school; however, the parents are responsible for requesting the recommendations through Carrollton’s Admissions Portal. The recommendations must be requested online. You will need the recommender's first and last name, as well as their email addresses for recommendation submission.

Entrance Examination
