Transfer Information

Transferring Made Easy

We invite students from other schools to consider transferring—and we make it easier than you might think! Come out, explore the campus, connect with students and faculty, and discover what makes this place so amazing.

This is a place you will thrive!

Applying as a Transfer Student

We welcome transfer applications for sophomore and junior classes on a rolling, space-available basis. As a potential transfer student, you’ll be paired with a personal counselor, a Big Sister mentor, and a dedicated support team to help you transition more easily.

Before applying, we encourage you to join us for a Shadow Day:

  • Experience a day in the life of a student

  • Observe classes

  • Enjoy a hosted community lunch

You will also participate in Transfer Orientation, designed to help you feel comfortable, prepared, and excited to embark in this new chapter.

Applications for the 2025-26 school year have closed, but applications for the 2026-27 school year will open in February 2026. We consider requests for mid-year January transfers on a case-by-case basis. Questions? Please reach out to us at admissions@stfrancishs.org.
