GMLS Application Process

We encourage all prospective families to begin the process by filling out our online inquiry form.

This is the initial step where families express interest in SDJA and provide information about their child. It's an opportunity for both the family and the school to learn more about each other.

We highly recommend scheduling a campus tour. It's a great opportunity to see our campus, meet our staff, and get a firsthand look at the SDJA environment.

Once you've expressed interest, you will be directed to the SDJA application portal. Here, you'll create an account or log in if you already have one. The portal contains the application and recommendation forms for the application process. Note that a separate application should be submitted for each child.

Required Documents for Application Process

• Student application: Complete the student application form, including personal and academic information.
• Nonrefundable $100 application fee: This fee covers the processing of the application.
• Current teacher recommendation: Obtain a recommendation from your child's current teacher.
• Current administrator recommendation: Secure a recommendation from a school administrator or principal.
• Report cards: Provide your child's report cards. 
• Birth Certificate or passport: Include a copy of your child's birth certificate or passport.

After the school receives all the application materials, a member of the admissions team will contact you to schedule a student interview or assessment. This interview is likely conducted to assess the student's readiness and fit for the school.

If you require Tuition Assistance, there's a separate application process. You can initiate this application along with the student application. However, please be aware that TA awards are typically communicated after the student has been admitted.

For questions related to Tuition Assistance, please contact studentservices@sdja.com.

Families who complete the application process by Monday, February 3rd, 2025, will receive an email notification decision on Friday, March 7th, 2025.

Upon acceptance, you will receive information about the enrollment process, including details regarding tuition payments.

We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for you. If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to reach out to admissions@sdja.com. We're here to support you every step of the way.
