As independent schools,

we are varied in our educational philosophies and programs but united in our commitment to ethical practices in our admission offices.
The Heads of the undersigned Los Angeles schools have agreed to the following principles of good practice for K – 12 admissions:

In order to minimize timing dilemmas for applicant families, we have agreed to the below common notification and reply date for Fall 2024 admission:

Grades K-12:
  • Notification letters will be sent on Friday, March 8, 2024
  • Email notifications can be sent starting at 5 PM on Friday, March 8, 2024
  • Replies are due on Friday, March 15, 2024, by 12:00 PM
We are mindful of the disruption to students’ education in their current schools that additional visits to prospective schools can cause, so we do not encourage such visits. However, schools that receive requests from
newly-admitted students and/or parents may grant those requests at their discretion.

We share an interest in making the independent school application experience as informative and enjoyable as possible and are joined in our conviction that the independent school world can offer unique and rich
educational opportunities for young people.
