How to Apply

Completion of a recommendation form by the applicant’s current teacher is required. Instructions to request the recommendation are included in your Applicant Portal.

If the student does not attend school but takes part in an activity such as music, sports or Religious School, please request that the teacher complete the Teacher Recommendation. 

To help us get to know your child, we ask that you please complete a questionnaire included in your Admission Applicant Portal. The Parent Guardian/Questionnaire must be received no later than your child’s scheduled admission visit/testing.

The Bolles Lower School Parent/Guardian Questionnaire is a common form used by the members of the Greater Jacksonville area independent schools accredited by the Florida Council of Independent Schools (FCIS). If you are applying to other schools listed on the form, you may print the completed form in your Admission Applicant Portal for submission at other schools.  If you have already completed a paper form at another FCIS school, you may upload it in your Applicant Portal or email it to Shelly Lenhart.

Getting to know students is an important part of the admission process.  Plans are still in the works for our winter admission visits/testing which will take place in January – mid-February, so please, stay tuned!  We are working out the details and will be ready to share soon!
