Application Process
Students applying for the 2025-26 academic year should set up a shadow day. We offer shadow days on Tuesdays, 9am-4:10pm, starting in late September and extending through February. Shadowing students will be matched with a host student and will sit in on a full day of core classes and elective classes, and have a lunch interview with members of our admissions committee.
If you are interested in visiting the school for a tour or setting up a shadow day, please contact our admissions office at 512-454-5797, email admissions@griffinschool.org or contact us through our website form.
The application deadline for 2025-26 admissions is January 22, 2025.

ISEE Test or Assessment
Register for your student to take the ISEE test, or schedule to take the Griffin School in-house assessment with us. We’re offering it on December 10, 2023 (9am) and January 20, 2024 (9am). Sophomores and juniors may submit PSAT, SAT, or ACT scores if they've taken any of those standardized tests.
This might sound like a lot, but it is really a pretty straight-forward and simple process that can be completed in a few days if needed. Just give us a call and our Admissions Director will walk you through the application process.

We make every attempt to help families work through the financial barriers that often arise when considering private school tuition expenses. Let us work with you on the financing options that are available. Various tuition payment plans and low-interest tuition loans are offered. In addition, families with financial need may apply for tuition assistance by completing an online aid application.
