Admissions

Visit Carlthorp

Typically, tours and interviews are given to prospective parents on Tuesday and Thursday mornings throughout the school year. We hope to return to the process listed below once we return to a campus-based learning model.

In this COVID-19 period, we will make every effort to offer applicants an on-campus visit before our admissions decisions are published in March.

Tours

Visiting Carlthorp School is an important step in our warm and personal admissions process.

Typically, your visit will begin with a personalized tour led by a 4th, 5th or 6th Grade student who will show you our campus and provide you with an insider’s view of student life at Carlthorp School.
Interviews

Following your tour, a member of our Admissions Committee will sit down with you for an interview.

While relaxed and informal, please be aware that this serves as your “official interview” for admission to Carlthorp School, so please come prepared to ask questions.

Please fill out an Inquiry Form to begin the process of setting up your tour. Once complete, please call our school office at (310) 451-1332.

When you visit, you may park along San Vicente Boulevard or nearby on 4th Street or Georgina Avenue.

Established in 1939, Carlthorp School is the oldest independent coeducational day school for grades K-6 located in Santa Monica, California.
