La Salle welcomes transfer students who are seeking a Catholic, Lasallian high school experience rooted in academic opportunity, faith formation, brotherhood, leadership, and personal growth. Our Admissions Office works closely with transfer families to understand each student’s needs, review academic records, and help determine the right next step.

Each transfer situation is reviewed individually. Decisions may depend on grade level, course credits, timing, academic performance, space availability, and the student’s overall fit within the La Salle community.
What academic records are needed?
Families should submit the student’s most recent report card, including all grades completed in high school. Additional records, such as transcripts or completed coursework, may also help La Salle determine appropriate course placement and graduation planning.
