How to Apply to CMTHS
- Enrollment at CMTHS is limited. Therefore, each applicant is evaluated based on information provided in the application. Only complete applications will be reviewed, and admission will be granted until all openings in that program are filled. The remaining applicants are then placed on a waiting list for potential placement as openings occur in those programs.
- Since there are a limited number of openings each year, students should have their application on file at CMTHS by January 20 for the next school year. Applications submitted after the first round of application submissions will be considered on a space available basis.
- Interested students should go to www.cmths.org/prospective-students to apply. LMSD school counselors may support students in completing their applications, but do not have any impact on the admissions process or decisions.
