Admissions
Choosing the right school is important and we are ready to partner with you in making such a key educational decision. We invite you to explore our website to get an understanding of our diverse community and the values that guide our school.
As we welcome students who have attended public, private or have been homeschooled, the friendly and accepting nature of our student body and faculty allows students to feel comfortable regardless of their background or learning style.
In addition to a strong university preparatory program in the arts, sciences, and humanities, we offer: a values-based education that speaks to the challenges of contemporary life; a warm, welcoming and responsive community and an opportunity for students to participate in the ongoing development of their own school and education.
We believe that a small student population is key to providing a personalized, excellent education. Our current student-to-teacher ratio is 10:1. Our policy is to enroll any student who is selected in our lottery admission process, and, who has been promoted by any other NC Public System or by any other State school system. In the case of homeschooled students or students coming from unaccredited private schools, Kestrel Heights School will base all enrollment decisions on nationally recognized testing results the student may have completed or we will have such student take a series of tests to assess their appropriate grade placement.
Follow these steps to start the admissions process:
- Complete the application for your elementary, middle or high school student.
- Applications may be dropped off, emailed or faxed to Ms. Vargas.
- A confirmation email will be sent once the application is added to the lottery database. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please contact Ms. Vargas prior to the lottery drawing to ensure receipt.

Our lottery is a “blind” lottery. During the lottery drawing, the perspective student names are blindly drawn from the pool of applicants. Once we have filled the available seats for each grade, we will continue drawing the names and place them on the waiting list in the order they are drawn.
There is currently a wait list for students in all grades. Our next lottery will be held on March 1, 2013.
We look forward to assisting you through the application process. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Admissions Office.
