St. Nicholas is as enthusiastic to introduce its program to interested parents as prospective families are eager to learn about St. Nicholas. Therefore, the process is truly simple and friendly.
The admission office welcomes inquiries at any time during the year. For families interested in enrolling for the following school year, fall is the ideal time to send applications and visit the campus.
Admission Process for Prospective Parents
1. Inquire and Visit
Call the admission office at (423) 899-1999 for an admission packet or request a packet from bdawkins@stns.org. After reviewing the admission packet, arrange a time to visit and tour the campus to learn about St. Nicholas’ unique educational program. Tours begin in the fall of the school year. We have regularly scheduled tours on the dates below, but you can contact our admission office to schedule a tour if the scheduled dates are not convenient. The visits begin at 8:30 am, and are approximately 90 minutes in duration. We begin with chapel, visit with the Head of School, and tour classrooms. The campus tour is designed for parents only – your child will be invited to visit at a later date.

Assessments for Levels 3 -7 are ongoing by individual appointment. When your child comes for an assessment visit, please bring a copy of his/her birth certificate, and if applicable, copies of the results of any standardized testing as well as his/her most recent report card. Applicants for the ELC will only need a copy of their birth certificates.

Notification letters are mailed in March for children entering St. Nicholas through the Early Learning Center. Notification letters for children entering St. Nicholas as students in Levels 3 through 7 are mailed within a few days after their assessment visit. For students applying after those dates, assessments will be scheduled individually and vacancies will be filled on an as-available basis.
Parents' Reply Deadline
Parents of newly accepted students are asked to notify the admission office of their decision within a week.
