Application Process

Submit an application form and a 2-page handwritten essay. Submit the application via email to info@cdrigdvs.org. 

International Students

International Students must take the Junior TOEFL after submitting an application form. Once the test is completed, an initial family interview will be scheduled. While we do not have a standard minimum score, we recommend applicants obtain a minimum score of 600, which corresponds to an “Emerging” level of English proficiency.

Family Interview

Once an application form is submitted, we will follow up with a family interview and contact the applicant’s parent or guardian for additional required documents or questions. Please allow 1-2 weeks of processing time after you submit an application. Family interviews for international students will be conducted via Zoom. Domestic students, depending on their proximity from the CDR IGDVS campus, will have a family interview scheduled via Zoom or in-person.
