How to Apply
Welcome to the admission process at Forest Ridge.
The Forest Ridge Admission team is here to partner with you throughout the application process.
As an independent middle and upper school, Forest Ridge serves students in 5th through 12th grades, with our most common entry points being the 5th, 6th and 9th grades. Applicants are also welcome to apply for 7th, 8th and 10th grades, though we cannot guarantee space in those grades. We are committed to a holistic review of all applications, taking into account the vast array of information provided in each student's application.
Still Accepting Applications
Though our formal application deadline has passed, we are still accepting applications for select grade levels.
