A Personalized Admissions Process
Exploring Admissions at Ambassador
We’re Here for You and Your Student.
At Ambassador, your student will be known, celebrated, and encouraged to discover and become the young man or woman God created them to be. Our goal is not just college preparation — it’s Calling Prep! And it begins in Admissions. Ready to begin the journey? Let’s start the conversation!
A Simple, 5-Step Admissions Process
Applications for 2026-2027 WILL BE AVAILABLE in October!
Schedule a Visit
You are invited to come at your convenience to tour campus and see our top-tier facilities. Your visit will include a one-on-one conversation with a member of our admissions team to share your story, ask questions and talk about the things that matter most to your family as you select a school. Meetings with coaches, teachers, students and administrators may also be arranged as requested. Schedule a visit here.
Come for a Shadow Day
Experience “a day in the life” of an Ambassador student. Your student will be paired with a peer to walk through a typical school day, attending classes, special events and lunch. Shadow days are scheduled from 8-12 Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Submit an Application
Our online application requires basic information, unofficial transcripts/grade reports, letters of recommendation and a few short essay questions. It is designed to help us get to know your student’s history and academic track record.
Take the PreACT Assessment
The preACT assessment is used as part of our evaluation to determine whether the academic rigor of our college prep curriculum is appropriate for your student. Testing will be scheduled for 26-27 admissions in October and November.
Family Interview
We believe a successful high school experience is built on alignment — in values, expectations, and mission. This interview is the final step in determining whether Ambassador is the right fit for your student to grow in both knowledge and faith. Once you’ve submitted your application, we will reach out to get your interview scheduled.
