  • Tours

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