Quick Answer for Busy Parents
Campbell Hall’s main Middle and High School entry points are 7th grade, with about 60 to 65 openings, and 9th grade, with about 30 to 35. Both follow the same Grades 7–12 process: an online application, an interview, three recommendations, transcripts, and standardized test results. Applying by November 16, 2026, guarantees an interview.
Openings by Grade
| Grade | Typical New Openings |
| Kindergarten | 44–46 |
| 6th Grade | About 10 |
| 7th Grade | 60–65 |
| 9th Grade | 30–35 |
Other grades open only through attrition, and 12th-grade applications are considered only in extenuating circumstances.
Same Process, Different Odds
Seventh and 9th grade applicants complete identical steps, but 7th grade admits roughly twice as many new students. That doesn’t make 9th grade out of reach, but it does mean families weighing both should think carefully about timing.
| 7th Grade | 9th Grade | |

| Interview | Required | Required |
| Recommendations | English, Math, Administrator | English, Math, Administrator |
