VSL Admissions Process

Thank you for your interest in VSL! We look forward to learning more about your family and sharing more about our village. If you have questions prior to initiating the admissions process, please contact the school at admissions@villageschooloflouisville.org. The following is an outline of our admissions process:

  1. Attend an open house event if you can make it! Check our Events page and follow us on social media for upcoming dates. We’d love to show you what it’s like to be a part of our village.

  2. To schedule a tour, please fill out an Application for Admission and submit the $20 non-refundable application fee*! If you plan to pursue sliding scale tuition, please indicate this on your application. You can print a hard copy or complete an electronic Admissions Packet. Once completed, please email to admissions@villageschooloflouisville.org.

  3. When we receive the Application(s) and fee, VSL will contact you to schedule a tour.

  4. Once the application materials and your tour are completed, prospective student(s) participate in a shadow day at VSL (half day for incoming junior kinder/kindergarteners; full day for all other grades). This provides your student(s) an an opportunity to get to know our community, experience a school day at VSL, and determine whether we are a good fit for your family. Someone from the school will contact you to schedule the shadow after you submit the application(s).

    *The application fee is $20 per family regardless of how many students you are applying for. We will accept either a check mailed to the above address or online payments to our Venmo account: @villageschooloflouisville
