The Admissions Office team looks forward to meeting you and learning about your child. We are available by appointment for in-person meetings and tours or virtual meetings via Zoom if preferred. Please call 805.687.2461 or email us to schedule a date.

  

Visiting classes plays an important role in helping a student determine whether Laguna Blanca is a good match academically and socially. We believe this is an important part of the school search process; therefore, the receipt of an application prior to scheduling is not necessary. Visiting students arrive at the admission office prior to the start of school and are paired one-on-one with a host student whom they shadow for classes.
