Admissions
A Personalized Admissions Process
How Can We Help Answer Your Questions About High School?
A completely new high school comes with a completely new set of questions from parents.
- Who will be teaching?
- What are your AP offerings?
- Will you have strong sports teams right away?
- Is this the right school for my teen?
We’ve built an incredible campus and a culture of excellence at Ambassador Christian School, a private high school in Huntersville, NC. We’d like to welcome you to our campus to answer your questions.
Here’s how your student benefits:
We’ll make time for you and your student.
We get that we’re asking you to trust us and our vision. That’s why we’re more than happy to talk it all through with you. We’ll pair you with an experienced educator — and, if necessary, our head of school — to get you the answers you need.
