Middle School Admissions (Grades 5–8)

To begin the admissions process, please create an account in the Veracross admissions portal.

The online application includes: demographic information, parent and student questionnaires, student essays, applicant photo and application fee. To be considered an applicant by the December 15 deadline, the demographic information and the application fee must be submitted. All remaining application components must be submitted by the February 1 file completion deadline. 

Although the admission application deadline has passed for first round consideration, we are still accepting applications for second round consideration.  We look forward to getting to know your family!

Parents new to St. Francis must attend an Admissions Tour. Current parents do not need to attend, but are welcome to join. 

Parents are required to have a conversation with a member of the admissions team. The Admissions Office will schedule this opportunity once the application has been submitted.

Students are required to have a conversation with a member of the Middle School administration. The Admissions Office will schedule this opportunity once the application has been submitted. 

A recommendation form must be submitted from the current math and English teachers. 
We suggest waiting until November so the teachers have the opportunity to get to know your child.

The transcript must include grades from the previous two academic years and current fall semester or first trimester.  

Applicants to fifth through eighth grades are required to submit standardized test scores for admission. Applicants may take the ISEE (Independent Schools Entrance Exam) or the SSAT (Secondary School Admission Test). The ISEE school code for St. Francis Episcopal is 447791.
