Transfers
De La Salle will begin accepting mid-year and fall of 2025 transfer applications on September 1, 2024. There are selective openings in the classes of ‘26, '27 & ‘28. Availability varies by grade level, and all are encouraged to apply. Mid-year transfer applications for January 2025 are due December 1, 2024. Decisions are released to families on December 9, 2024. There is no set deadline for fall transfer applications because decisions are made as space becomes available in each class. However, students who apply before February 15, 2025, will have priority consideration over those who apply later in the year.

Athletic Eligibility
As part of the admissions process, a prospective transfer student to De La Salle should always consider his ability to be eligible for participation in interscholastic sports. While not every transferring student will desire to compete athletically at De La Salle, he should be aware of the rules that govern his eligibility/ineligibility once he enrolls in the school. The North Coast Section (NCS) of the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) has a very detailed process for athletic eligibility that every applicant should review prior to making a formal decision about moving to De La Salle: http://www.cifncs.org/. Additional information can be found in the Athletics Section of our website. Please note that the NCS reviews eligibility on a case by case basis. De La Salle’s athletic staff does not have the ability to make decisions on a student’s behalf.
