APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION (on-line)
You can access the on-line application by clicking on "Apply to JMSG." If applying on-line presents a challenge, you may obtain a paper application by contacting the Admission Office at 510.632.6000 x125. The Parent/Guardian Questionnaire and Candidate Quesionnaire should be completed an returned to the Admission Office as soon as possible. The parent and student questionnaires and the application fee are required before a student can visit classes or participate in the assessment. Applications and fee can be submitted by the Courtesy Deadline of December 3, 2010. This clerical courtesy to the Admission Office has no bearing on the application decision, but does allow more options for scheduling visits. The absolute application deadline is Monday, January 10, 2011 at 3:00 p.m. Applications submitted after this date are welcomed, but will be reviewed after those received by the deadline. APPLICATION FEE A fee of $90.00 (check payable to Julia Morgan School for Girls) is due when the application is submitted. It is non-refundable and does not, in the case of acceptance, apply toward tuition. TEACHER RECOMMENDATIONS JMSG uses the standard Confidential Teacher Recommendation Form** used by all East Bay Independent Schools. Two academic teacher recommendations are required. Teachers completing forms must have taught the student within the last two years. The teacher recommendations are due on Monday, January 10, 2011. SCHOOL REPORT FORM Please sign the School Report Form** and deliver to the school your child currently attends. A school administrator must complete the recommendation checklist on the reverse side of the form. Please have your child's school return this form to JMSG. The transcript is due on Monday, January 10, 2011. PARENT TOURSAdults Only!
Parents are welcome to participate in scheduled tours of the School. Please call 510.632.6000 x125 for the dates and times. We strongly recommend that you attend an Information Night first. PARENT INTERVIEW (required) After the Parent Questionnaire has been submitted, Head of School Sandra Luna will meet with each applicant’s parents in a half-hour meeting to answer parents’ questions and to assess whether our school would be a good “fit” for the family, child, and school. Parent interviews will begin in November and end the first week of February.
STUDENT VISIT/INTERVIEW (required) As part of the admission process, girls should plan to visit classes in December or January on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday (8:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.).
