Admissions Process

The admissions process is designed not to be exclusive but to be inclusive of families who strongly desire a Classical, Christian education with an emphasis on character development and parental involvement.

Students seeking admission are evaluated on the basis of their report cards, admission questionnaires, interview, and potential to perform satisfactorily academically at Sterling. Decisions are made with this primary focus of whether or not the prospective student will have a good opportunity for success.

Sterling Classical School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities made available to students of the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, financial assistance, athletics, or any other school administered programs.
