All prospective students are required to complete admissions testing as part of the admissions process. Prospective students in grades K and 1 will complete an interview one on one with a primary staff member. This interview is an assessment of developmental readiness and achievement.
These interviews take place after school and are scheduled on an individual basis. Prospective students in grades 2-8 will complete a shadow day at The Cooper School. The admissions testing will take place during this day. This will allow older students an opportunity to experience the work and social environment, and to interact with the teachers and administrators.

All students must provide evidence of immunizations or vaccinations required by the State of South Carolina. Official records from a licensed medical provider or clinic are required and must be approved by the school nurse. Exemptions from immunizations for reasons of conscience, including religious exemptions, will not be accepted for any Cooper School student. Exemptions from immunization requirements may be granted on a medical basis.
Students requesting a medical exemption from the immunization or vaccination requirements must annually submit a signed, dated letter from the student’s South Carolina-licensed, treating physician (M.D. or D.O.) specifically stating the basis for the exemption and that the required immunizations or vaccinations would be medically contraindicated or pose a significant risk to the health and well-being of the child or a member of the child’s household.
Typically we adhere to the September 1 cut off date. For example, a child applying to the Kindergarten program would need to be 5 years old by September 1 of the entry year. Exceptions will be made on a case by case basis, and after the interview process has been completed.
