Los Angeles School Heads Letter

Dear Applicant Families,

As independent schools, we are varied in our educational philosophies and programs but united in our commitment to ethical practices in our admission offices. The Heads of the undersigned Los Angeles schools have agreed to the following principles of good practice for K – 12 admissions:

In order to minimize timing dilemmas for applicant families, we have agreed to these common notification and reply dates for fall 2020 admission: 

Grades 9-12: 
  • Notification letters will be sent on Friday, March 6, 2020
  • Email notifications can be sent at 5PM on Friday, March 6, 2020
  • Replies will be due on Tuesday, March 17, 2020, by 12:00PM

Grades K-8:

  • Notification letters will be sent on Friday, March 13, 2020
  • Email notifications can be sent starting at 5PM on Friday, March 13, 2020
  • Replies will be due on Monday, March 23, 2020, by 12:00PM

  • Once notifications have been sent, schools will not initiate visits, whether for individuals or groups (e.g., through open houses).
  • We are mindful of the disruption to students’ education in their current schools that additional visits to prospective schools can cause, so we do not encourage such visits. However, schools that receive requests from newly admitted students and/or parents may grant those requests at their discretion.
  • No applicant or applicant family will be contacted by any representative of the school – once admissions notification begins. Of course, admitted students and their parents are welcome to contact schools to have questions answered. 

We share an interest in making the independent school application experience as informative and enjoyable as possible. And we are joined in our conviction that the independent school world can offer unique and rich educational opportunities for young people.

Back
At Milken Community School, we think education is more than what you know. Our School, founded on Jewish values, is about who our children can become and how they can help others become who they might be. Because the world our children will create tomorrow is born in the School we build today, our mission is to educate our children so they can surpass us.
Non-discrimination Policy: Milken Community School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation or national and ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admission policies, financial aid, athletic, and other school-administered programs.
