Here is the process explained in six easy steps:

Being in a new school without knowing anyone made me think that my transition to High School would be super difficult. However, because of Mayfield's love and support, I was able to transition so easily, and built a home for myself at Mayfield.

Our Admission's team has 3 great tips for you:

Define what's important to you in high school

Every high school has something special to offer. What matters is finding the place where you will be your best self, where you will grow and thrive. Some things to consider include academic programs, class size, single-sex vs. coed, spirituality, extra-curricular activities. Reflect on what you have to give and what you want to receive from your future high school.

Start Early

Start attending open houses in 6th or 7th grade to get a sense of the schools you love and where you want to apply. In 8th grade, begin your online application early. You don’t need to complete it all in one sitting—you can log out and come back any time to finish your answers.

Your principal and current teachers really appreciate it when you give them plenty of time to write your recommendation letters. As soon as you decide where you are applying to high school, ask for your letters.

Don't be nervous. Be yourself!

We are not going to put you on the spot or ask trick questions during your interview. We want to know about your hobbies, your favorite classes, what you like to do on weekends. What are you really passionate about? Write essays in your own words. We want to hear your voice. No pressure!
