Loyola Academy offers a rolling admissions process for transfer students for the next academic year. Letters of decision will be emailed once all information is received. Loyola Academy reserves the right to limit the number of transfer students due to space limitations, even if the transfer student meets the criteria for admission. Loyola does not accept mid-year transfers or transfers into senior year.
The application process for transfer students includes the following steps:
Step 1: Complete an Inquiry Form—this allows us to stay in contact with you and creates both the student and parent or guardian My Loyola account within our system.
Step 2: Complete the online Transfer Student Application Form through the student checklist on the parent/guardian My Loyola account. The transfer application will be available April 1, 2025.
Step 3: Upload unofficial transcripts to the student checklist on the parent/guardian My Loyola account. Official transcripts are required after the applicant's current school year is completed.
Step 4: Upload three letters of recommendation from current school to the student checklist on the parent/guardian My Loyola account:
One letter from principal or assistant principal
Two letters from current teachers
Step 5: Upload copies of most recent standardized tests (HSPT, PSAT, PLAN, ACT, SAT, etc.) to the student checklist on the parent/guardian My Loyola account.
Loyola Academy accepts the most qualified applicants and only if space is available to accept the student. Acceptance is contingent upon space, academic fit and the successful completion of the applicant’s current school year.
