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.

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.
