Submit a free application online. Applicants must provide:
Once an application is complete, it is placed In Consideration for review. We evaluate each application for fit with our GCS Family Profile. Following review, applicants who are selected to move forward will be invited to interview.
While most interviews take place in the fall, they may be scheduled throughout the year as openings become available. Additional steps may include a screening call, placement testing, or requests for further information.
Following the interview, approved applicants will be placed in the wait pool until an opening is available. Our wait pool is not ranked.
When openings occur, applicants in the wait pool are considered based on the needs of the available space and the best fit for the student and GCS.
Enrollment offers for the upcoming school year begin in February and continue until all available spots are filled. Current-year offers may be extended as openings become available.
We will contact you directly if a space becomes available for your child. You will then receive instructions to complete the enrollment packet. Please be prepared to pay the non-refundable $750 new student fee.
If you have any questions about the application portal or process, please contact us at admissions@gcsaz.org or call 480-809-6690. Our Admissions Committee is looking forward to reviewing your application.
