CIA’s personal approach
Applying to a college can be a daunting task. That’s why we believe very strongly in providing a personal approach at this most important time of your life. We encourage you to contact us early in your college search so that we can help you prepare the best possible application.
Contact us and we’ll put you in touch with an Admissions Counselor. They’ll answer any questions you have and confirm if your application and portfolio meet our submission requirements. In addition to your portfolio, you will be assessed on your academic and leadership potential.
