2026/27 Mid-Year Transfers

While starting school with us on the first day of the school year is the ideal way to ensure a successful transition, ICSJ welcomes applications throughout the year.  Once the school year has begun, consideration for a mid-year transfer will be determined both by resource capacity and a comprehensive review of the student’s academic standing. Applicants must be in good academic, disciplinary, and financial standing in their current school for their application to be considered. Applicants may be assessed by an ICSJ Learning Specialist to determine his/her fit within our program.

 

At this point, we do have limited space available in certain classrooms. It is important that you contact our Marketing and Admissions Director, Jodi Thyen, to determine the availability of space in your child's grade level prior to submitting and application for a mid-year transfer. 

 
If space availability has been determined, submit the application below and include copies of the student's report cards and standardized test scores from the most recent 2-3 school years. Upon completion of the application, you will be contacted to set up a Playdate or Shadow Day, depending on the age of the student, as quickly as possible.
