STEP ONE: Learn About Us!
  • All families should join us at our Open House on November 24, 2024.

STEP TWO: Apply
  • Students who are interested in applying for the Freshmen class should submit an application by January 10, 2025.  The Admissions portal will close after this date, and applications will no longer be accepted.  All supporting documents must be received by January 27, 2025.

Completed applications will be reviewed at the end of each month with decisions released shortly thereafter.
 
STEP THREE: INTERVIEW & APPLICANT REVIEW
  • Once a student’s application is complete and we receive transcripts and recommendations, they will receive a link to sign up for an interview with a member of our Admissions committee.  
 
  • This personal interview will allow us to get to know the applicant individually and to answer any questions that they may have about KYHS. 
 
  • Interviews are held December through February. At least one parent must accompany the student for the interview as the interviewer will also set aside time to speak to the parent during the interview slot.
 
STEP FOUR: ADMISSIONS DECISIONS  
  • Once the interview has been conducted, the admissions committee will review the application, report cards, recommendation letters, and interview notes. 
 
  • Decisions will be released starting the last week of February.
