You are welcome to call us at 931.388.3810 and speak to someone in our Admissions Office to get overall information. However, please be aware that we cannot make an enrollment determination, campus recommendation, or tuition estimates over the phone without a complete enrollment packet.

Campus tours available by prior appointment after application submittal.

Who We Serve

KDS maintains an admissions team that reviews referrals and applications and accepts all students who are appropriate for the program, without regard to race, color, religion, sex or national origin (we are not accepting adults 40+ at this time.)

Our school is not appropriate for homicidal or suicidal individuals, those with criminal backgrounds, or individuals who are considered medically fragile. Your child may be right for KDS if he or she has a below average IQ, is working below grade level, and has been diagnosed with some type of developmental delay.

Please note: Individuals with a primary diagnosis of a mental health disorder generally require a more therapeutic community, and therefore are not candidates for admission to KDS. The criteria referenced above are general guidelines; all prospective students will be reviewed on an individual basis.

Admission Determination

You may be asked to provide additional information in order to make an admission determination. This may include but is not limited to the following: video clips or virtual interview, additional medical information, etc.

The KDS Admissions Team will meet to determine how your student may or may not benefit from The King’s Daughters’ School.

KDS will follow up with you regarding an admission determination.

If your student is accepted for admission and you wish to move forward, we will schedule a tour of the campus.

For families of adults, complete an independent financial assessment; information is provided by the KDS Admissions Team.

Enrollment

Set an enrollment date, along with the KDS Admissions Team.

You will receive an enrollment packet for your child, which will provide packing lists, a parent handbook, a checklist of items and paperwork needed for enrollment, contact information, and your contract for services.

Complete the KDS Consents, which are found in a PDF file in the KDS enrollment packet.

Secure pre-enrollment medical exams/medications: Ensure your student has results from physical, dental, and vision exams within the past year, as well as medications/prescriptions for 3 months.
