Admission to Caravel is based on a combination of personal interview (grades 5-12), past school performance (report cards, standardized tests, and teacher recommendations) and placement testing. Placement tests at Caravel Academy are given several times during the year. The Admissions Committee closely evaluates the placement test to determine whether an applicant will experience success at Caravel. To arrange for these tests, please call our Admissions Office. Arrangements for testing are the responsibility of the parent.

Admission procedures begin when parents or prospective students contact the school. We encourage parents and students to visit the school, preferably while classes are in session. Information can be sent to the parent at the time of contact or visit.

Parents complete the application and return it with the admission fee to the Admissions Office. At the same time parents should provide Caravel Academy with the required information. Previous report cards, standardized test results, and evaluations must be provided either by the present school or parent.

After all these procedures have been completed, the Admissions Committee will evaluate all information in deciding if the applicant will be accepted to Caravel.

Before any applicant can enroll and begin attending classes proof of immunizations required by Delaware State School Law must be provided to Caravel Academy. We welcome parents' questions about the admissions process. Please do not hesitate to contact the Admissions Office at (302) 834-8938 on weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Caravel Academy does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, or national and ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship program and all other school administered programs.
