Westridge girls can let their true selves shine. Our community celebrates individuality and student voices, creating an environment where girls can try anything, discover their passions, and explore a variety of disciplines without fear.
We are passionate about being an all-girls’ school because we know that spaces like ours are rare—where girls occupy every role, where everything is thoughtfully designed around girls and how they learn best. Simply put, we get girls. And that makes all the difference in the world.
Westridge welcomes applications for girls entering grades 4-10. Admission entry points for the ext school year will be in grades 4, 6, 7, and 9. Admission into non-entry grades is dependent upon available space. Please contact the admission office with questions about non-entry grades before applying.
To be considered for admission, each applicant must complete the steps described below. For detailed application instructions by grade-level, to request information, or to register for events, please create a free account in Ravenna.
Please Note:
Westridge is not requiring nor encouraging students to take the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) for admission to fall this year. If taken, students can choose to send ISEE score reports to be included in their application file. Submitting scores will not provide an advantage or disadvantage to any student.

Complete and submit your preliminary application forms in Ravenna to get started.
To be considered an applicant, please submit the family information form, parent questionnaire, and student questionnaire along with the $75 application fee. Apply by November 1 for a reduced application fee of $25.
Application fee waivers may be requested by emailing. Waivers are reserved for those whom the application fee represents a significant financial hardship.
Step 2: Sign Up For An Online Interview Appointments Available November-february 1
Because we are not able to meet in-person this year, your daughter can expect to participate in two interviews during the admission process; she will join her parent(s)/guardian(s) in the first half of the Online Family Interview, and on a separate date she will join an Online Student Group Interview.
Family interviews may be scheduled through Ravenna once the preliminary applications forms are submitted. Student group interviews will be assigned on January 16, between 9 am-3 pm by the Admission Office.
Step 3: Take The Character Skills Snapshot By February 1
The Character Skills Snapshot (CSS) is an innovative online tool that measures students’ preferences, attitudes, and beliefs about their character and is meant to complement the student transcript, interview, and teacher evaluations.
More information on the CSS, including registration and fee waiver details, can be found in the application steps in your Ravenna account.
