Admissions Procedure

Admission to Highlands Latin School is based on the applicant’s performance on a placement test, previous academic record, and family interview. The purpose of the admissions process is to ensure a good fit between Highlands Latin and the student.

  • if homeschooled, a summary of the most recent courses of study;
  • a $50.00 application fee

When your application packet is complete, we will contact you to schedule a placement test and interview. When the admissions process is complete, you will receive one of the following:

  • an acceptance letter;
  • a letter notifying you that your student has been placed on a waiting list;
  • a letter notifying you that your application has been declined;
  • a request for a follow-up interview and a teacher recommendation
