Carolina Day School announced this week a new admission process effective now for enrollment in the 2016-17 school year. “We worked hard over the summer to streamline our process for interested families. We want to encourage families to learn more about the school’s inquiry-based curriculum and inclusive culture, apply online, and reach out to us about affording a Carolina Day School education,” says new Director of Admission Debbie Ashe. Ashe was hired this summer from Columbia University in New York City.
