Admissions Process
The Priory's application process begins about a year in advance of the academic year you want to enter the school. The process involves completing the parent and the student application forms, entrance testing, recommendations from some of your current teachers, and an official transcript from your school. Applicants will be asked to have an interview with a member of our Faculty. The deadline to apply for the 2013-2014 school year is January 17, 2013. Applications submitted after the January deadline are considered on a space available basis. (Click on "ADMISSIONS SCHEDULE" for important dates and times.)
Visits to the Priory are encouraged during the application process. There are three Open Houses scheduled this fall with flexible dates and times so the whole family can participate. (Click on the "OPEN HOUSE" for dates and times.)
International students seeking to apply as boarders can arrange for a tour of the campus. These individual visits can be scheduled with the Admissions Office. Information regarding boarding program admissions can be found at the International Applicants page.
Middle School and High School applicants can spend a Shadow Day at the Priory through January of 2013. Call Admissions (650-851-8223) or email (cyost@PrioryCA.org) one of our staff will talk with you about your options.
That's it! The information you will need to complete all of these steps is in the Admissions packet. To get your copy, on the navigation bar to the left, click on "DOWNLOAD FORMS" and get the forms immediately or "REQUEST INFORMATION" to have a packet sent to you.
