Frequently Asked Questions

 

Select a topic below
Are international families required to visit San Domenico?

No. We would love to give you a tour of our campus, and have you engage in one of our classes and meet current students, but it is not required. In addition to our regularly scheduled family tours, which are scheduled throughout the admission season, international families may request special campus tours on the dates they plan to visit California.  (Please contact admissions@sandomenico.org to schedule this.) Please be sure to visit the list of admission-related events on our website and on Ravenna.

Are International Students required to have a Guardian in the Bay Area?

San Domenico School strongly encourages students living outside of California or the United States to have a designated San Francisco Bay Area guardian in case of illness or to help in emergencies. Parents are responsible for finding their child's guardian.

Are interviews required for students who are applying to San Domenico?

We require an interview for all prospective high school students. Student interviews can be done in person or on Zoom and last between 20-30 minutes. Interviews are meant to be a conversation allowing our admissions team to get to know students and students are encouraged to come to the interview with questions.

Are lunch and snacks provided at San Domenico?

Yes. Both morning soup and lunch are included in the annual tuition. Our dining-service provider, the Epicurean Group, is dedicated to serving locally sourced organic food, sometimes from our own one-acre garden.

Are sibling applicants given priority in the admissions process?

As a school that highly values community and the commitment that families have made to our school, we pay close attention to sibling applications.
