Application and Application Fee
Each application should be submitted with the non-refundable application fee of $30 for domestic students or $75 for international students, prior to April 1 to assure admission as space is limited. Late applications will be considered for grades which have vacancies.
School Records Required
School records must include a transcript which covers at least three years of an applicant's school career. The records should include academic grades, conduct grades, attendance records and standardized achievement test scores.
Birth and Immunization Certificates
A birth certificate and an official immunization certificate must be provided.
Entrance Evaluation and Examination
Testing may be required if an applicant's test records are incomplete or further information is needed about an applicant. International students must have taken the TOEFL or SSAT exam.
Student Visit
One of the most important components of the application process is a visit to Tallulah Falls, GA. Visiting campus is, without question, the best way to determine if Tallulah Falls School is the best option for your educational, social and personal goals. As you are preparing to submit an application, call the Admission Office to schedule a visit. With advance notice, it is possible to meet with faculty, students, coaches and/or administrators.
Enrollment Contract
Once a student is accepted for admission, an enrollment contract covering the year in which a student plans to enter the school must be completed, signed and returned to the school with a tuition deposit. This deposit is applied directly to the total tuition and cannot be refunded. The deposit and contract must be received within fifteen days of notice of acceptance to reserve a space for your child.
Admission Committee
All applicants are considered by the Admission Committee with care. The committee attempts to make fair decisions in every case, considering not only what our school can offer each applicant but also what contributions can be made by the applicant to the Tallulah Falls community. In making application to Tallulah Falls School, parents should understand that the decision of the Admission Committee is made in the best interest of each applicant as a primary concern. Tallulah Falls School admits qualified students without regard to race, color, or national and ethnic origin.
