Transfer Students 2026-2027

Welcome to our vibrant school community! As you embark on this exciting chapter of your educational journey, we are truly honored to accompany you on your path of growth, both academically and spiritually.

At John Carroll, we are dedicated to your holistic development, ensuring that your faith, character, and intellect are integrated into every experience. From the classroom to extracurricular activities, and from athletic fields to community service, every moment spent here provides an opportunity to deepen your relationship with God and strengthen your faith. Our goal is not just to foster your academic success, but also to help shape you into the person you are destined to become.

As an alumnus of this school, I can personally vouch for the significant impact this community has had on my life. The formation I received here played a crucial role in molding my academic achievements, faith, and character. Many of our alumni—some of whom continue to teach and work at John Carroll—can share similar transformative experiences. The lessons learned, friendships forged, and faith nurtured during our time here continue to guide us throughout our lives.

As you connect with fellow students, you will be encouraged to build meaningful relationships founded on fellowship and mutual respect. Together, we will cultivate a transformative experience that empowers you to become the best version of yourself—one that embodies the values of our faith and positively influences the world around you.

We eagerly anticipate walking alongside you, helping you uncover your unique gifts, and supporting you as you grow closer to God Additionally, we are excited to witness your achievements and the positive impact you will have on our Cavalier community.

God Bless & Go Cavs!

Tuition Assistance

Families interested in applying for JCCHS Tuition Assistance (Financial Aid) must submit a new application each year (JC Tuition Assistance does not renew automatically). To be considered, please ensure you complete the application annually.

Important Requirement

If your family plans to apply for JC Tuition Assistance, you are required to also apply for the Alabama CHOOSE Act scholarship. There is one exception - families not currently living in the State of Alabama do not have to complete The CHOOSE Act application.

You do not have to be awarded CHOOSE Act funding, but you must submit a CHOOSE Act application to be considered for JC Tuition Assistance.

Easy Application Through FACTS

The CHOOSE Act application process is quick and easy to complete through FACTS; the same system our families already use for tuition and financial aid.

When applying, you will simply:

Log in to your FACTS account
Select the CHOOSE Act application
Complete the required information and upload any requested documents

The CHOOSE Act provides eligible families with Education Savings Accounts that can be used toward private school tuition, helping support families pursuing private education.

Important Deadline

Both applications must be completed by: March 31,2026

CHOOSE Act Application
JC Tuition Assistance Application

Completing both applications ensures your family is considered for all available tuition assistance opportunities. If you have any questions or need help navigating the process, please feel free to reach out to our Business Manager, Mrs. Kellyn Vines, who can assist you.

Graduation Requirements

Cavs In Service

Students who transfer after the end of their freshman year will be assigned a prorated number of hours by the counseling department or by the service coordinators on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration how much time you have before the start of your senior year.

Basically, if you transfer after the end of your freshman year, your total hours are reduced to 60. If you transfer after the end of your sophomore year, your hours are reduced to 30. If you transfer after the end of your junior year, the service coordinators and counselors will talk you through any hours we feel you still have time to complete.

You are welcome to transfer hours done at previous schools, but we will need verification from supervisors or from the service coordinators at the previous schools before they can count in our system.
