Applying to La Salle

All prospective students and parents are invited to submit an Admissions Inquiry. The inquiry is intended to help our Admissions Officers learn more about your prospective student, schedule visits, and reach out regarding other fun and exciting opportunities at La Salle.

Touring and visiting our campus is an important part of your admissions journey! Join us for a campus tour, visit with your current school, explore our campus online or join us for our Open House!

Our application for the 2024-2025 school year is now available! All prospective students are required to fill out an Application for Admission.

There is a $100 non-refundable application fee due at the time of submission for all applications.

Once an application is submitted, interested families may apply for financial aid through our FACTS portal.

The student/parent interview process provides our Admissions Review Committee with the opportunity to meet and chat with the prospective student, as well as their parents.

We require all students and parent(s)/guardian(s) to interview with a member of the Admissions Team as part of the application process (typically held in January). We encourage all families to schedule their interviews as soon as possible, as spaces are limited. Parents will have the ability to schedule an interview through the SchoolAdmin application portal after submitting an application for admission. Available slots will be available to choose from beginning in November 2023 for our January/February 2024 interview times.

Freshman applicants must submit two recommendations: one each from the student's current English and Math teachers. Please login to your application portal to send the recommendation requests to the teachers directly.

Once the teacher has completed and submitted the recommendation, it will be sent directly to our admission team. Your applicant checklist will be updated to show that the recommendation was received.

Transfer applicants must submit at least one letter of recommendation from a current teacher. Be sure to log in to your application portal to send the recommendation to your desired teacher.

Transcripts provide our Admissions Review Committee with a means of evaluating a student's academic progress at their previous school(s). However, transcripts are just one part of our holistic review of an applicant.

Freshman Applicants: 6th, 7th & 8th grade transcripts are required to complete your application.

Transfer Applicants: All high school transcripts are required to complete your application.

After creating a SchoolAdmin account and submitting an application, use the Request Transcripts section of the portal to request your transcripts from your previous school(s).

We offer optional Course Advancement Testing on Saturday, January 13, 2024, and Saturday, January 20, 2024. Our faculty developed our course advancement tests and will provide prospective 9th-grade applicants with the opportunity to place in advanced or honors courses if offered admission to La Salle. Available course advancement tests include English, Math, and World Languages. Note that the placement tests will not be used as a measure or evaluation tool for the admission decision process. Prospective families may sign-up for course advancement tests in their SchoolAdmin portal after submitting an application for admission.

Students who choose not to participate in the course advancement process will be placed in standard courses (e.g.. Algebra 1, World Language 1, etc.) if offered admission to La Salle. Course advancement appeals will not be considered if a family chooses not to participate in the course advancement test process.

La Salle will not be accepting any standardized test scores (HSPT, ISEE, etc.) for consideration or review as a part of the admissions process. Test scores sent to La Salle will not be considered. If you have any questions about our course advancement test policy, please reach out to us at admissions@lasallehs.org.
