Admissions Process
Thank you for your interest in La Scuola International School! The admissions process for San Francisco and Silicon Valley private schools can be overwhelming, but we are here to guide you through the application process.
Students are not required to speak Italian to enroll in preschool, Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 6. Students applying to Grades 2 to 5 as well as Grades 7 and 8 are evaluated on a case-by-case basis during the admissions process.
If you have any questions regarding the application process on our Ravenna Hub portal (which helps you track your application progress, register for events, and view admissions decisions), please reach out directly to our Admissions team at admissions@lascuolasf.org.
