Application Process

Attending one of our Open Houses is a great start.

This is an opportunity to experience seminar style teaching review the curriculum and meet staff. The dates for Open Houses for 2012-13 are November 10, 2011 and February 9, 2012, 6:00-8:00 p.m. While this is not a required step, it is highly recommended.

Completing and returning all necessary application material is the second step.
This includes: Family Information, Parent Questionnaire, Student Questionnaire, Teacher Recommendation, Transcripts. An application fee of $65 should accompany these documents.

Scheduling a visitation/shadow day for your daughter is a required third step.
In an attempt to minimize your daughter’s absence from her current school, we schedule a morning visit. If more time is needed, a full-day or a second visit may be scheduled. Days will vary depending upon each year’s schedule.

An interview with the interested student and parents/guardians is the final step in the application process.
Admission to SFGS is on a rolling admissions basis. Once student visits are completed and application materials are received, we interview families and make decisions within a week for the upcoming school year.

Note: Application materials are available at Open Houses, in the SFGS office, and can be downloaded from the website.
