Admissions
We Look Forward to Meeting You
Welcome!
On behalf of the Enrollment Management team we want to thank you for your interest in Latin School of Chicago.
Selecting the best possible school is an important process, and our Office of Enrollment Management is committed to making every family’s experience as personal, informative and welcoming as possible. It is our goal to provide you with everything you need to determine whether Latin is the right school for your family. Our comprehensive admissions process allows us to get to know your student and ensure that they can feel successful and happy at Latin.
While we wish we could meet you in person this fall, in consideration of safety and in response to COVID-19, our admissions process will be virtual this year. We have a number of resources and extensive material on our website, so please click around to learn more about the outstanding academic and extra-curricular opportunities, the devoted faculty and the welcoming community that make Latin an exceptional learning environment.
Please do not hesitate to contact our office with any questions at admissions@latinschool.org or 312.582.6060 as we would be happy to help.
We look forward to seeing you online!
Best regards,
Mark Copestake
Director of Enrollment Management & Financial Aid
