(OPTIONAL)
Apply For Financial Aid
Parents/guardians may apply for Free Tuition or Financial Aid by filling out the appropriate form and submitting their most recent tax return. We have never yet let financial concerns prevent an accepted student from attending CHS, so we encourage all families who may need some assistance to apply.
(OPTIONAL)
Submit Portfolio
Students may also submit additional samples of work, including writings, artwork, photographs, videos, computer programs, graphics, etc., whatever you would like to show us! You will have the option to upload your portfolio work (or a document containing links to multiple pieces of work) within the online application. Please note that you can only upload one file in the application, so multiple files would need to be compressed and uploaded as a .zip file. Photographs/digital images of artwork are acceptable, as are originals/physical submissions. If you submit your original artwork, we will return your pieces to you!
Visit / Interview
After reviewing student application materials, the admissions team may invite the student for a visit / interview. If a student is asked to come for a visit, they will spend a full day (9:00am – 5:00pm) in person on the CHS campus in Roanoke, observing classes, interviewing with faculty and staff, and meeting current students. Please note that visiting students must observe all COVID-19 protocols while on our campus.
Essay
After the interview, the applicant will submit an essay. The topic will be assigned at the interview.
Submitting Materials
We will accept materials via email, mail, or fax. You may submit materials as they are completed.
