The application process involves many steps, and we’re here to help. The best way is to contact us by email at admissions@flintridgeprep.org or by phone at 818.949.5530. 


Step 1: Inquiry Form

Inquire online by completing our inquiry form

By completing the inquiry form, you get on our mailing list to receive information about Flintridge Prep and the admissions process. You will also get access to onCampus, Flintridge Prep's admissions portal.


Step 2: Application Due January 10, 2024

Complete Flintridge Prep's online admissions application in our user-friendly admissions portal.

Instructions as well as tips for filling out your application are available in the portal (complete Flintridge Prep’s inquiry form to gain access to the portal).  You’ll need your account information (look for the email from flintridgeprep.myschoolapp.com that you received when you completed the inquiry form). The $100 application fee can be waived for families applying for financial assistance. You can obtain a fee waiver from Flintridge Prep's Admissions Office by emailing admissions@flintridgeprep.org. The application for admissions is due by January 10, 2024.


Step 3: Interview & Campus Visit

schedule your family's interview & campus visit

While Flintridge Prep’s application deadline is January 10, 2024, we encourage you to complete your application as soon as possible so you can book your family's visit to Flintridge Prep. These visits, which will begin in October, include a student-led campus tour, conversation with Flintridge Prep faculty and administrators, and time for the applicant to write a short writing sample.


Step 4: Recommendations & Transcripts

Request electronic copies of your RECOMMENDATION FORMS and TRANSCRIPTS.

Request the applicant's recommendations and transcripts through Flintridge Prep’s online admissions portal. Due by January 19, 2024.

Step 5: Character Skills Snapshot

take the character skills snapshot

The Character Skills Snapshot is an online tool that measures student preferences towards seven character skills: intellectual engagement, open-mindedness, initiative, resilience, self-control, social awareness, and teamwork. It takes approximately 25 minutes to complete and applicants take the assessment at home, school, or other comfortable environment of their choice. Results complement the other information in an applicant’s file.
 
Students applying to Flintridge Prep are required to take the Character Skills Snapshot and submit results once you have received the report (they are not sent to us automatically).
 
You can register for the snapshot through Flintridge Prep’s online admissions portal once you submit the application. The assessment fee is $60, which can be waived by contacting the Admissions Office. The deadline to take the snapshot and submit the results is January 19, 2024.

Step 6: Financial Assistance Application

apply for financial assistance

Flintridge Prep awards financial assistance based on a family’s calculated financial need in amounts ranging from 10% to 100% of tuition and school costs. There are no merit or talent-based awards. If the cost of a Flintridge Prep education feels out of reach based on your family’s financial circumstances, we believe applying for financial assistance is worth exploring.  Information about financial assistance for admissions families is available on our website. The financial assistance application deadline is January 10, 2024.

NOTE ON STANDARDIZED TESTING:

Flintridge Prep is not reviewing standardized test results (e.g., ISEE or SSAT) as part of the application process for students interested in applying for the 2024-2025 school year.
