Thank you for your interest in La Scuola International School. The admissions process for San Francisco and Silicon Valley private schools can be overwhelming. We will guide you from how to apply for preschool through middle school.

We still have a few spaces open for the 2023 - 2024 school year, depending on the grade level and campus location. If you're looking for a spot in the current school year, please reach out directly to our Admissions team at admissions@lascuolasf.org.

We are excited to guide you through our admissions process for the 2024-2025  school year.

All applications begin by creating an account in the Ravenna Hub portal, our online application site that helps you track your application progress, register for events, submit your application, and view admission decisions.  For all PreK - Grade 8 inquiries, email our Admissions team at admissions@lascuolasf.org.
