The following list outlines the steps to applying to Community
Independent School:
- Call the school to schedule a visit.
- Complete
an application and return it with the application
fee.
- Have the current teacher or childcare provider fill
out a teacher recommendation (pre
k/k or elementary)
form and have them submit it to CIS.
- Once these materials have been received, you will be
contacted to schedule an interview and student observation
at CIS.
- If accepted, submit the completed enrollment contract with accompanying fee(s).
We consider each application individually with family and
input from previous teachers. Community Independent School
accepts students whose educational needs can be met in our
setting. It is our hope that the staff and families composing
the school community mirror the diversity of the community
in which we live. Acceptance to the school is in no way
based on race, religion, gender, handicapping conditions
or economic status. We welcome families in all their diversity.
Enrollment Fee
Families agree to pay a one-time enrollment fee per child
of $800.
Tuition Deposit Community Independent School requires a non-refundable tuition deposit of $500. This deposit must accompany the Enrollment Contract and will be applied to the student's final tuition payment of the 2008-09 year on April 1, 2009. The tuition deposit secures a space for each child in the school, and ensures that the school has a commitment from each family.

installment payment plan from July 1- April 1.
