Admissions Requirements:
We welcome your application to Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart for the 2014-2015 school year. Please note that Forest Ridge is one of the Seattle/Eastside area schools using the web-based application called ORCAS Mosaic for the submission of online applications. Through ORCAS Mosaic, you can manage your applications online, complete each school’s core application and submit supplemental forms such as teacher evaluations, student essays and parent/guardian statements. Many of these supplemental forms are common forms that are shared among multiple schools. This means that you will only need to complete these common forms once and then electronically submit them to the schools that use ORCAS Mosaic or alternatively print the forms and mail them to schools that don’t use ORCAS Mosaic. New users will need to create an account before starting an online application. Following the submission of an application form, students are required to visit the campus, submit results of the ISEE or SSAT tests, complete and submit student and parent essays, participate in a family interview, and submit a teacher recommendation and records from a previous/current school.
