Submit application for admission

We are now accepting applications for the 2021-2022 school year. Please complete an application online and e-mail the Admission Office at admission@langleyschool.org with any questions.

To be considered for the preschool program, students must be three years of age by September 1 of the year they start school. Students applying to junior kindergarten and kindergarten must be four and five years old, respectively, by September 30 of the year they start school. Students applying to grades 1-8 are admitted to grade levels appropriate for their development.

Schedule student visit

We are temporarily modifying our application process to include virtual student visits for grades 1-8 and will be sharing that information soon.

We are planning for in-person small-group visits for preschool, junior kindergarten, and kindergarten applicants. Langley’s safety policies and procedures will be in effect and the visits will be conducted at times when our current students are not on campus to reduce interactions. Dates and additional details will be posted soon.

Applicants to junior kindergarten, kindergarten, and grade 1 who are 5 years old and younger should take the WPPSI-IV.
Applicants to grade 1 who are 6 years old should take the WISC-V.
Applicants to grades 2 through 5 should take the WISC-V.
Applicants to grades 6 through 8 are not required to submit testing. However, if you would like to provide supplemental information about your child, we recommend the WISC-V for this current year. We will also accept the SSAT and ISEE. Students wishing to take the SSAT should pre-register with SSAT (www.ssat.org) and know that Langley’s school code is 4507.

Submit teacher recommendations and transcripts

Teacher recommendations and complete transcripts must be sent directly from your child's school or teacher to The Langley School. Please let us know if you are unable to reach your child's school at this time.

Once you have submitted your child's application through our admission portal, you will find instructions to electronically request teacher recommendations directly from your child's current teacher(s).

For Preschool, Junior Kindergarten, and Kindergarten: Recommendations and transcripts are only required if your child currently attends school.
For Grades 1-5: We require at least one teacher recommendation (from your child's current teacher) and a complete transcript.
For Grades 6-8: We require two teacher recommendations (one math and one language arts from your child's current teachers) and a complete transcript. If your child has the same teacher for both subjects, please submit a second recommendation from a different teacher.

Note: Please feel free to submit additional teacher recommendations from past years if you feel that teacher can provide a more comprehensive assessment of your child.

Transcript Release Authorization: Print and sign this authorization form and e-mail it to your child's current school. The school should then send your child's complete transcript directly to The Langley School Admission Office at admission@langleyschool.org. Please Note: Transcripts should include at least two years of reports when applicable.
