High School Applications Now Open

There are two methods of joining the Excelsior Preparatory family. 

Online: MySchools.nyc

1. Use MySchools to explore high school options, and talk with your school counselor about your application choices.
   • Be sure to place programs in your true order of preference, with your first choice as #1 - 29Q265 Excelsior Preparatory High School.
   • Applying to up to 12 schools, any of which you'd be happy to attend, makes it more likely that you'll get an offer to a program of your choice.
2. Check the "Selection Criteria" section of each program's MySchools page to see if that program has any additional admissions requirements. For example, audition programs require an audition, and some screened programs require applicants to complete an interview or essay.
3. Submit your application and any additional requirements by the deadline (December 14th). When you see the confetti, you'll know we've received your application!
   • You can apply in English, Spanish, Chinese, Bangla, Russian, Arabic, Urdu, Haitian Creole, Korean, or French online in MySchools.
   • If you would like to apply using another language, call us at 718-935-2009, or contact a Family Welcome Center and ask for an interpreter.
