Applying to Cab Calloway

Cab Calloway School of the Arts is a public magnet (or “choice”) school in the Red Clay Consolidated School District.

While CCSA is a public school, as a magnet/choice school, we do not have what is referred to as a “feeder pattern”. No child is automatically assigned to Cab Calloway School of the Arts; rather, every student has “choiced” into the school, selecting it over other district-designated middle or high schools.

There is no tuition charge to attend CCSA, even if you reside outside the Red Clay Consolidated School District; however, you must be a Delaware resident. Cab Calloway School of the Arts cannot accept out-of-state residents. Cab Calloway School of the Arts offers a rigorous academic program, infused with the arts, for students entering grades six through twelve. The ideal time to apply to Cab Calloway is for grades 6 and 9. Students should apply when they are in 5th grade for our middle school and 8th grade for our high school. Due to limited seats in 7^th, 8^th, 10^th, 11^th & 12^th grades, Red Clay residents are given priority in the application process.
