If current Covid restrictions are lifted to allow us to safely bring visitors to campus, applicants for 6^th grade will be invited to schedule a shadow day. Applicants will spend a few hours on campus shadowing a current student. Space will be limited.
Testing:
Sierra Canyon has adopted a testing-optional policy for the 2020-2021 admission cycle. There is no penalty in not submitting scores. For students who choose to submit Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) or Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) test scores, score reports must be submitted by February 1, 2021.

Interview:
Zoom interviews are required of all Upper Campus applicants and require at least one parent or guardian to accompany the student. These interviews are informational and help Sierra Canyon get better acquainted with candidates and enable families to learn more about the School. Appointments are roughly 30 minutes including a Q&A portion with the accompanying parent or guardian. Once a family knows they are planning to apply, they are encouraged to contact the Admission Office at (818) 882-8121, ext. 323 to schedule an appointment.
