Admissions Process
Get Started!
Begin your SCLA journey by scheduling a tour or shadowing a student. Fill out the online application and financial aid application to get a head start on enrollment! When you make the decision to enroll your student, we make the process simple.
Step One - Visit
We look forward to meeting you and your student! Every school has a feel of its own. Visiting campus and scheduling a student shadow is the best way to know if SCLA is a fit for your family. Click on "Schedule a Tour" above and let us know when it is convenient for you. We will follow-up to confirm the date and time.
Personalized Tour
View campus with your family and get your questions answered by the SCLA admissions team. We recommend a weekday during school hours, between 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Out of state? Schedule a visit and note that you would like a video visit.
Student Shadow
Your student can experience an SCLA school day when they shadow a current student. Call the SCLA admissions team to schedule a full-day or half-day shadow (651) 455-1521 or click on "Schedule a Tour" above, and we will follow-up.
Step Two - Apply
Applications are being accepted for 2025-2026.
The first step to becoming an SCLA Crusader is completing the PowerSchool application. Submissions are preferred in early spring but accepted throughout the summer. Openings are available in both the middle school and high school unless otherwise noted.
Once accepted, your PowerSchool account will be used to complete the online enrollment forms. Prior to submitting, you may save your progress and return at a later time.
Required Documents
Upload the following documents while applying or email them to Admissions@StCroixLutheran.org
