Admission Checklist

Tour campus

Submit application for admission

We will accept applications for the 2022-2023 school year starting in early September.

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 and assessment

For the 2021-2022 admission season, we are modifying our application process to include in-person, small-group visits for rising preschool, junior kindergarten, and kindergarten students. Details about visits for rising grades 1-8 will be coming soon.

Preschool, Junior Kindergarten, and Kindergarten: Langley’s safety policies and procedures will be in effect for these in-person, small-group visits which will be conducted at times when our current students are not on campus to reduce interactions. Once we have received your completed application form, we will reach out to schedule your child(ren) for an on-campus visit.

Rising preschool visits will be 45 minutes long and will be held on Thursday, January 27, 2022.
Rising junior kindergarten visits will be 45 minutes long and will be held on Saturday, December 11, 2021, and Saturday, January 22, 2022.
Rising kindergarten visits will be held on Saturday, December 11, 2021, and Saturday, January 22, 2022, for one hour.

Grades 1-8: Once we have received your student's completed application form, you will be prompted to schedule two visits for your child. The first visit is a virtual student academic assessment. During this one-on-one time, a member of the admission team will work with your child virtually to complete a math and reading test. The second visit will include a classroom visit. Due to COVID-19 considerations, a final decision has not yet been made on the format of these visits. For informational purposes, virtual visits are designed to be anywhere from an hour to two hours depending on grade.

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.
