Covington Latin School is a truly unique school in the Tri-State area. CLS's academic foundation is rooted in providing a premier classical and accelerated Catholic education to students throughout the region. We have been providing a rigorous academic environment for students for more than 100 years. Ask any of our thousands of alumni...they will tell you that our academic curriculum set them up to succeed, not just in college, but in life.

But our students succeed because our focus is not merely focused on cultivating intellect alone. It's a carefully calibrated balance of embracing, exploring, and encouraging the whole person. We invite you to explore the academic, spiritual, social, and personal development opportunities that make up the transformative Latin School experience.

We’re delighted by your interest in Covington Latin School and the many opportunities it has to offer. Whether this is your first time engaging us, or you have been looking into CLS for a while, we are glad you are here.

The first step, as with anything in life, can be daunting, but our goal is to make it as easy as possible. We recommend taking a look at our Admissions Process page. This will go step by step through the admissions process, from completing the inquiry form to submitting the enrollment packet at the end! 

While our website offers substantial insight into the unique aspects of the CLS experience, visiting Covington Latin still provides the most accurate sense of our culture and educational experience.

There are several ways to get to learn more about our community and culture in person, and they can be found in the Visit section of our website. These include:

• Private Tours
• Shadow Days
• Open House

The Application and Entrance Exam are the two required elements to complete prior to being considered for enrollment at Covington Latin School. We encourage you to read the information found on both of these pages (when live, as the application does not open until September) so that you can be prepared for your appropriate next step. 

We know that you have questions about if CLS is the right fit for you (or your student). Our website is a great first place to find answers to your questions. In order to make that search a little easier, we have pulled out some of our most asked questions into the boxes below. 

Many first questions revolve around:

• Acceleration - The longstanding CLS tradition of Acceleration (or grade skipping)
• Tuition/Affordability -  This section dives into the overall cost of a Covington Latin education, and includes sections on scholarships and financial aid.
  • An important note…we believe that no deserving student should be denied a Covington Latin education due to demonstrable financial need. The generosity of our alumni and parent donors has enabled us to offer tuition assistance to nearly one-half of CLS students, across a broad spectrum of financial circumstances.  
• Frequently Asked Questions — We have also included an FAQ section that includes questions not found in the two above-listed areas.          

Finally, please know that you can always reach out to our Admissions Office! We are available via email at admissions@covingtonlatin.org.  We look forward to working with you to see if Covington Latin School is the right fit for you and your family's educational endeavors.
