Admission Process
Application for Admission should be made as early as possible in the year preceding the expected date of entrance, and the applicant's file must be complete by January 15.
We request that the transcript not be forwarded to St. Paul's School for Girls until the student's first major marking period is complete. Priority consideration will be given to siblings and daughters of alumnae, as well as children of faculty and staff.
There are four documents essential to the admission process at St. Paul's School for Girls. Copies may be obtained by contacting the Admission Office. Please note the date for each one. All materials should be in our office by January 15, so that the Admission Committee can thoroughly read and evaluate each completed folder. Please feel free to call the school (see bottom of this page) to make sure that your daughter's folder is complete.
