Rolling Admissions Applicants

After the first round of admission, SJI will open a rolling admissions process to fill any vacant seats for the school year of 2021-22. Given our commitment to small class sizes, there is no guarantee of a seat for admitted students in the second round. If there is no space for a qualified student, the student will be placed on a waitlist and notified of any opportunity to enroll.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does SJI take transfers?

Yes, SJI takes admission applications for grades 9-12, but transfer students should be in discussion with school administrators to determine if any academic support will be needed for a successful transfer, due to the unique nature of our curriculum.

Does it matter if my student hasn’t had Latin or other foreign language experience?

No, our curriculum is designed to introduce Latin to students with no previous Latin study, or challenge students who have already studied Latin.

Does SJI have sports and clubs?

Can SJI make any accommodations for my student’s special needs?

SJI administrators and faculty have many years of experience developing and utilizing plans to make accommodations for many different student circumstances. As a school with a low student-to-teacher ratio, we are able to support our students as individuals. Please reach out to us to discuss your student’s particular needs. 301-887-3008.
