Admissions Process

STEP 1: SUBMIT AN APPLICATION

You begin the admissions process by submitting an online application.*  You can click here to start your application.  You will be prompted to create an account and will need to verify your email address to begin.  Once you complete the form and gather related documents, you will need to submit it electronically along with a nonrefundable fee of $75.

Applications are accepted beginning January 1 for the following fall semester. The application process is the first step to determine if Foothills is the right educational choice for your family.  We are happy to accept transfer students at any time during the academic year prior to the start of the 4th quarter.  Students transferring for third or fourth quarter of the academic year should contact the school office for current year tuition and fee information and to begin the application and enrollment process.

*Families who have previously attended Foothills and are seeking re-enrollment should contact the school office for a re-admission application. Students returning within 5 years of their last attendance at Foothills are not required to submit a new online application. 

STEP 2: SUBMIT RECORDS

All applicants are required to submit a copy of the student birth certificate and current immunization records.

Applicants enrolling in grades 1-9 should provide a copy of of the previous year's report card.

Applicants enrolling in grades 10-12 must provide transcripts from the student's previous education institution.  Our administrative staff is happy to assist with a records request.

Applicants entering grades 7-12 are also required to submit an essay (prompt found in application packet)

STEP 3: ENTRANCE TESTING

Students entering grades K and 1 will be scheduled for placement testing with one of our teaching staff. Students entering other grades may be asked to complete testing after a review of previous academic records.

In many cases, testing can be completed during the same visit as the admissions interview.

STEP 4: ADMISSIONS INTERVIEW

Once the application is submitted and required documents are obtained, families will be scheduled for a face-to-face interview with our Head of School.  This is an opportunity for the family to ask questions about our school and processes as well as a chance for our Head of School to share expectations of our families.  We are your families partner in education and want to ensure that you have all the information you need to determine the best place to enroll your child(ren). 

Students entering grades 9-12 will also have a brief interview with the Head of School.

STEP 5: ENROLLMENT

Upon completion of the interview, families will be notified in writing of the admissions decision. Students will receive a formal notification of admission.  

At that time, families will be emailed a link to complete the enrollment process. Admitted students and families are also eligible to submit an application for tuition assistance at this time.

The enrollment packet is also completed online. This packet is REQUIRED to complete the admissions and enrollment process at Foothills. There is a non-refundable $300 fee that is required with the enrollment packet. Other information completed in the enrollment process includes:

  • Setup and confirmation of payment plans
  • Emergency contact and family information
  • Review of handbooks, school policies and procedures

Submission of enrollment packets is confirmation to us that you plan to enroll your student and reserves a seat in class for your child.  Students are not considered enrolled until the enrollment packet is submitted. Upon completion of the enrollment packet, families will need to set up and accept a payment plan and submit the fee payment.  Once that is done, families must return to the enrollment form and submit it to the school to finish the process. 

Once enrollment is complete, you can gather required school supplies for the upcoming year and you can check out our resources for new parents and families to get you started!
