Students are admitted to The Hamlin School based on their potential for educational growth and accomplishment, and where applicable, past school performance record.

To be considered for admission in the fall term, an applicant's parents should submit an application with a nonrefundable $100 application fee by December 19, 2008 for kindergarten and January 16, 2009 for all other grades. All San Francisco K-8 independent schools mail decision letters on March 19, 2009; placement after that is made on a space available basis. Parents are urged to apply by the due dates.

Hamlin encourages families to visit the school, discuss our program, and tour our buildings. Arrangements can be made to accommodate any families who are moving to the San Francisco area from other locations during the school year, depending on space availability.

A completed application, school records, parent interview, student visit, and a nonrefundable $100 application fee are required elements of the admission process. The Admission Committee will review the application and a decision on acceptance will be made during March. After March, decisions are made on a rolling basis dependent upon available space.

Inquiries regarding applications, placement or school visits should be directed to Lisa Lau Aquino '81, Director of Admission at 415- 674-5400.

The Hamlin School admits students of any race, color, religion, disability and national or ethnic origin, and accords to them all the privileges, programs, and activities made available at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, disability, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, marital status, sex or age in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, financial assistance, athletic, and other school administered programs.
