Welcome to Admissions
Thank you for your interest in applying to The Overlake School!
We are often asked to describe the type of student we seek to admit. The successful Overlake student demonstrates sound academic ability, strong character, independence, and concern for others. Involvement in co-curricular and community activities is encouraged. Overlake prepares thoughtful, open-minded citizens ready to engage in a lifetime of learning, achieving and contributing in a global world.
The quality of the Overlake experience resides in the range and depth of our offerings, the personal and professional strengths of our faculty and staff, and the many gifts of our students. Ours is a dynamic educational program, marked by vital interactions among members of our dedicated community of learners.
We invite you to visit our campus by attending an Open House or a Tour and Information Session. Additionally, you can access other informative documents here:
