The transfer application deadline is June 2nd.

List of 7 items.

Step 1: Request Information

Completing an online inquiry generates an email, giving you a username and the ability to create a password for your personalized admission portal. This is where you will be able to check the status of your online application. It also allows us to share additional information about Pacifica and upcoming events with you.
Step 2: Complete the Online Application

Candidates for admission to Pacifica should apply online using the Pacifica Application or the Standard Application Online (SAO). Families applying to more than one independent school may find the SAO to be convenient. The choice of platform has no bearing on admission decisions. The completed application is due by January 13 to ensure a March 3 decision.
Step 3: Official Transcripts

Official transcripts from the first semester of the current year and at least two prior full years are required. Please create an online application account and download your Official Transcripts Request form from your personal application checklist.
Step 4: Three School Recommendations

We require three recommendations, one from a school administrator, current math teacher and current English teacher. The school recommendation forms should be emailed to the student’s current school approximately four weeks prior to the date the recommendations are due. Please create an online application account and request your recommendations through your personal application checklist.
Step 5: Character Skills Snapshot

All applicants to Pacifica are strongly recommended to take the Character Skills Snapshot as part of our holistic evaluation of each child. Grades and test scores are only a partial representation of each candidate. The Snapshot is a brief online assessment that lends us richer information and illuminates areas where Pacifica can help your child grow and thrive.

Step 6: Family Interview

At least one parent and the prospective student must attend the family interview. Once registration is released in late October, please sign up as soon as possible as interview slots are limited and fill up quickly. Please create an online application account and sign up for an interview slot through your personal application checklist.
Step 7: Financial Aid

Pacifica Christian High School seeks students and families from all economic backgrounds. If you are interested in applying for financial aid please visit our Financial Aid page and complete a FAST Financial Aid Application. This application may take a few hours, so please start the application at least two weeks prior to the due date.
