Highlands Latin School

Families are encouraged to start by completing the online inquiry form and scheduling a tour/admissions visit (or attending an open house) through the admissions office. (carmellatin.org) Applicants then submit the online application (create an account, start the application, and review/submit), and pay a non-refundable $100 application fee (noted as max $200 per family elsewhere on the site). (carmellatin.org) Admission is based on a combination of prior academic record, placement test results, a recommendation letter, and (as needed) a family interview; required documentation includes items like report cards, standardized test scores, and a recommendation form, and enrolling families must agree to the school’s Code of Christian Conduct. (carmellatin.org) Key dates/requirements called out include age cutoffs (Junior Kindergarten: age 4 by August 1; Kindergarten: age 5 by August 1) and a financial-aid timeline for 2026–27 (applications due March 2, 2026; decisions communicated by March 15, 2026). (carmellatin.org) If space is available, seats are offered first to eligible faculty/staff families, then eligible current-family siblings, then eligible new families; to hold a seat, families must submit the enrollment packet and pay the (non-refundable) $250 enrollment fee by the deadline in the offer/acceptance letter (seats are not reserved beyond that date), and the website does not describe a separate formal waitlist process.
