We're Here to Help

Most of what families want to know, in one place.

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the bigger decisions a family makes. The questions below are the ones admissions hears most often during tours and open houses, organized by topic.

If you don't find what you're looking for, the admissions office at each campus is happy to walk you through anything specific to your family. Contact information is at the bottom of this page.

01

General admissions.

What grades does Page Academy serve?

What is the application process?

Most families begin with a campus tour, followed by an application, a student visit day, and a parent conversation with admissions. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year, with priority given to early submissions for the upcoming academic year.

Is there an application fee?

Yes. Page Academy charges a non-refundable application fee submitted with your child's application. Contact the admissions office at the campus you are considering for the current amount.

Can my child visit the school before applying?

Yes, and we encourage it. Prospective families are welcome to schedule a campus tour, and your child can spend a visit day in a Page classroom to experience a full day of arts-integrated learning before you make a decision.

Does Page offer financial aid?

Page Academy works with families on a case-by-case basis to support enrollment. Reach out to the admissions office to discuss your family's situation and any financial aid options that may apply.

03

Academics and programs.

Is Page Academy accredited?

Yes. Page Academy is accredited by the National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSA), the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA).

What is arts integration?

Arts integration is the methodology Page has used since the school's evolution in the mid-1960s. Rather than treating the arts as enrichment alongside academics, Page teaches academic content through making, performance, and presentation. Research becomes performance. Science becomes sculpture. History becomes oral storytelling.

What is the Creators Program?

The Creators Program is the dedicated arts curriculum that runs alongside the academics from transitional kindergarten through eighth grade. Students rotate through four creative domains, performing arts, visual arts and design, production and technology, and the business of creative work, then develop a primary track in middle school that culminates in an eighth-grade capstone project presented to a real audience.

When does Page begin teaching Spanish?

Spanish instruction begins in kindergarten and continues through eighth grade.

How does Page use technology in the classroom?

Page uses one-to-one digital instruction in school-age classrooms, with students working on devices alongside hands-on creative work, written assignments, and physical builds. Technology is one tool in the curriculum, not the entire classroom.

Where do Page graduates go after eighth grade?

Page graduates attend many of the top private high schools in Southern California and have gone on to colleges and universities across the country. The college preparatory orientation Page adopted in the mid-1960s shapes how the school prepares its students for what comes next.

Does Page offer before and after care?

Yes. Page offers extended-day care before and after the regular school day. Hours and pricing vary by campus and program. Contact your campus admissions office for current details.

04

School life.

What are the school hours?

Early childhood and junior kindergarten programs run from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. School-age (TK through eighth grade) hours vary slightly by campus. Contact the admissions office for the current daily schedule at the campus you are considering.

Is there a dress code or uniform?

Yes, Page Academy students wear a uniform. Specific uniform guidelines, including approved tops, bottoms, and outerwear, are provided to enrolled families before the start of the school year.

What extracurricular activities are offered?

Beyond the regular academic and Creators Program curriculum, Page students take part in field experiences across the year, including the annual Knott's Berry Farm performance, AstroCamp, California Mission tours, and the Mesa Water Education Center. Additional clubs and activities vary by campus and grade.

Does Page provide lunch?

Lunch programs and options vary by campus. Contact your campus office for current details on food service and lunch plans.
