Step 3:  Application Form

Please complete our online application, with an application fee of $60. If you experience any difficulties completing our online application form, please contact us at 610-667-1284 or at admissions@frenchschoolphila.org. If you would prefer, you can print the application and mail it along with your application fee. As soon as we receive your application, we will contact you to schedule a family visit.

Step 4: Family Visit

After we have received your application and $60 application fee, you will receive instructions on how to schedule an interview.

On the day of the visit, you can expect to arrive at the school for an 8:45 a.m. appointment. At this time, your child will meet a member of our admissions team for a school readiness assessment. You should expect this to last for 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the age of your child.

Please visit our FAQs for more detailed information.

Step 5: Teacher Recommendation and School Records

For children entering grades one through eight, please forward the last two years worth of transcripts.

Step 6: Decision and Enrollment Timeline

Families who have completed the application process by January 15 will be notified of the admission decision by early-February.

After January 15, we accept applications on a rolling basis and will make decisions in a timely manner, as space is available.
