Thank you for your interest in applying to The Anacapa School!  Our school’s admission standards are selective and involve successful completion of the following pieces of the   Application Packet:

1. Application Checklist

2. Parent application

3. Student statement and essay

4. Three teacher evaluations

5. Transcripts of previous grades and standardized test scores

We also recommend (or may require) that students complete a campus visit as part of the application process.
When all of the application materials are received, we will invite you to schedule an interview with the headmaster to complete your application procedures. Please call 805.965.0228 if you have any additional questions. 

 Timeline

Admissions are made on a rolling basis—that is, an admission decision is made as soon as a student’s application is complete. The following suggested timeline is provided for your information, but prospective applicants should not be discouraged from applying if they begin the application process at a later date.  Please contact the Admissions Office for enrollment availability.

For Fall Admissions:
By mid-October Initial contact with Anacapa via phone, email, or website’s request for information form
By early March Attendance at an open house
Student campus visit
Completion of application paperwork
By mid-April Invitations of admission mailed
By early May Enrollment contracts and tuition deposits

Mid-Year Admissions

Although most Anacapa students enroll for a full academic year (September-June), occasionally the school will admit a new student for enrollment during the course of the school year.  This is done when a space is available in a particular grade level and when it is in the best interest of both the student and the school to do so.  We will be happy to talk with you about the possibility of a mid-year admission if you are interested in this.

To request more information —including an application packet—please complete the request form or Contact the Admissions Office at 805.965.0228 or email anacapa@anacapaschool.org.
