To apply to NCCVT for 9th grade:
We are no longer accepting applications for Delcastle, Hodgson, or St. Georges for 9th grade for the 2024-2025 school year. Applications may be submitted for Howard; however, those applications will be placed on a wait list.
The online portal for incoming 9th grade students to apply for the 2024-2025 school year opens November 6, 2023 and closes January 10, 2024. Eighth grade students who live in the Appoquinimink, Brandywine, Christina, Colonial, and Red Clay School Districts in New Castle County, regardless of what middle school they attend, are eligible to apply.
Only completed applications will be considered. An application is considered complete if it includes official 7th and 8th grade report cards including attendance (not progress reports or interim report cards).
