Admissions

We know how important it is making sure your son has the best possible high school experience. The best way to learn more about the Spartan story is to come to our campus. Here are three ways that you can visit our home here on Winton Drive:

1. Students
Come spend the morning on campus with our Spartan for a Day tour program. Instead of offering day-long shadow visits this year, we will be offering an opportunity for 8th-grade students to spend the morning at De La Salle for guided tours, class observations, and Q&A sessions with current students and key leaders. This event will provide the opportunity for prospective students to interact with the De La Salle community in a meaningful way. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today!

2. Students and Parents
Come to our annual, one-day-only Open House on November 6th! You can visit our classrooms, meet faculty, chat with students, and learn more about the various athletic and co-curricular programs we have.

3. One Night Only
On Thursday, October 13, 2022, the Visual and Performing Arts Department is hosting One Night Only, a behind-the-scenes interactive workshop at De La Salle High School for prospective Spartan students.

Students will rotate between Visual Art, Music, and Theatre Art subjects. They'll create art, meet the teachers, and learn more about the arts programs that De La Salle has to offer.

PARENTS: While the students are participating in the art rotations, you are welcome to either drop off your son or stay and learn more about the school and the arts program from our guest speakers, which will include faculty, current students, administration, and Parents Association members.

It will begin with a welcome for students in the Theatre at 6:00 pm and conclude around 7:15 pm.

We have a comprehensive calendar posted here for the Class of 2027 with mandatory and optional deadlines listed as well as more resources for parents and students.

We have two steps to our admissions process.

1. The first is to submit an admissions inquiry. This step will help us to learn more about you and your student and to reach out to you directly about fun and exciting opportunities on campus. We'll also use this step to help let you know about upcoming Admissions-related events and deadlines.

2. The second step is to apply! Applications are only available online. Families will have a personalized admissions portal that will include reminders, deadlines, and more. We are here to help you along the way.

The number of available positions is determined at the end of the school year by the administration and is contingent on the current enrollment for each of these classes as well as the enrollment of the entire school. Our admissions team cannot predict or guarantee open positions for the upcoming school year.
