Students from All Schools Welcome
At the Academy of Our Lady of Peace, we joyfully welcome students of all faith backgrounds and from every type of middle school—parochial, public, charter, independent, and home-schooled. Each girl brings her own experiences, perspectives, and gifts, and together they strengthen our sisterhood and enrich our community.
Every future Pilot is invited to step onto our campus and experience the magic of OLP through one (or both!) of our signature visitation opportunities:
8th Grade Visitation Day
A beloved OLP tradition, this half-day event invites 8th-grade students to experience our academics, spirit, and traditions alongside girls from across San Diego. Many parochial schools are already registered to attend with their entire class, so before signing up individually, please confirm with your daughter’s school whether she is already included.
📅
Wednesday, October 15, or Thursday, October 16
🕗 8:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
🚙 Students provide their own transportation and must be accompanied by an adult chaperone.
Reserve Your 8th Grade Visitation Date

📅 17 dates available—choose the day that works best for your family!
⏰ This experience invites 7th- and 8th-grade girls to shadow a current OLP student for a full school day—attending classes, meeting teachers, and experiencing the safe, supportive, and empowering sisterhood that makes OLP so magical

Parents' Guide to the OLP Application
Your Step-by-Step Guide to Applying to OLP
At OLP, every girl’s journey begins with a single step — and we’re here to walk alongside your family through each one. This section is designed to provide you with a clear, step-by-step guide to our application process, ensuring that nothing feels overwhelming or confusing.
While our admissions portal provides families with an official checklist, we know this process is brand new for many parents, and it’s natural to want reassurance that you’re on track. Think of this page as your companion: a place where you can see the bigger picture of what’s required, along with optional opportunities for your daughter to shine even brighter.
Above all, remember that applying to OLP isn’t just about checking boxes—it’s the start of her journey into a community where she is deeply known and fully supported, uplifted by a sisterhood rooted in unifying love. Each step is part of the path toward a place where resilience takes root, curiosity is encouraged, and courage blossoms.
Required Steps
1.
Submit the Application Form
Create a
Finalsite account
and complete your daughter’s online application—this officially begins her OLP journey.
2.
Pay the Application Fee ($80)
The fee confirms and processes her application.
3.
Upload a Recent Photo
A simple snapshot helps us put a face to the name and welcome her into our community.
4.
Schedule Your Family Interview
Choose an available date and time for your interview. If none work, please email
[email protected]
so that we can find a time together.
5.
Principal Recommendation Form
Your daughter’s principal will collaborate with her math and English teachers to complete one form that gives us a well-rounded picture of her academic strengths and personal qualities. Families send the request directly to the principal.
6.
Upload Standardized Test Results
Provide her most recent standardized test scores (STAR, CAASPP, or equivalent). If unavailable, please upload a note from her school.
7.
Upload Transcripts or Report Cards
Submit academic records for all of 7th grade and at least the first grading period of 8th grade. Official or unofficial copies are both acceptable.
8.
Register your daughter for the OLP Course Placement Diagnostic Test (CPDT)
Choose from one of two test dates:
Saturday, December 6,
or
Saturday, January 10
. The CPDT is not an entrance exam—it’s a placement tool designed to celebrate your daughter’s strengths and ensure she begins high school in the courses where she’ll thrive. Covering English, math, science, and world language, the CPDT helps us meet her where she is so she can soar with confidence from day one.
Important Note on Deadlines
All required steps of the application must be completed by your daughter’s chosen deadline—
December 1 for Early Applicants
or
January 5 for Regular Applicants
. The only exception is the Course Placement Diagnostic Test (CPDT).
Your daughter may take the CPDT on either December 6 or January 10, regardless of when she submits her application. While Early Applicants are encouraged to take the December 6 date and Regular Applicants the January 10 date, we understand families may need flexibility and will happily honor whichever session works best for your schedule.
Please note: Only applicants who submit by the
December 1 Early Application Deadline will receive their admission decision by December 10
—and be invited to our Early Acceptance VIP Party on December 11, where each newly accepted Pilot will also receive her free OLP Class of 2030 sweatshirt!
Application Enhancements: Optional but Encouraged
Scholars’ Day
Friday, January 16 | 8:30–11:30 a.m.
A chance for your daughter to showcase her enthusiasm for learning while competing for merit-based scholarships. Participation itself is a distinction!
Pilot for a Day (Shadow Day)
Recommended for 7th and 8th graders, this signature program lets your daughter spend a day paired with a current OLP student — attending classes, meeting teachers, and feeling the energy of our sisterhood.
Video Essay
In 90 seconds or less, she can record her response to the question: “What part of your spirit or what gift shines brightest when you’re at your best?” A wonderful way to let her voice shine.
Letter of Recommendation (LOR)
Optional, but welcome. Ideally, from someone who knows her well — whether in the classroom, athletics, service, or enrichment. What we value most is hearing about her character, resilience, effort, and the ways she uplifts others.
Learning Support Documentation (If Applicable)
If your daughter has an IEP, 504 Plan, or other documentation of learning needs, please upload it. This helps us partner with you from the start to ensure she is fully supported and ready to thrive at OLP.
Goodbye HSPT, Hello Confidence: The CPDT
At OLP, we believe a girl’s high school journey should begin with confidence, joy, and possibility—not fear. That is why we have proudly eliminated the High School Placement Test (HSPT). Too often, the HSPT created unnecessary stress for students and worked against our mission to provide a supportive, inclusive, and empowering environment for all girls.
In its place, we have designed the
OLP Course Placement Diagnostic Test (CPDT)
—a tool that celebrates each girl’s unique strengths and ensures she is placed in the courses where she will thrive. The CPDT is
not an entrance exam
. Instead, it is a supportive measure used solely for academic placement, helping us meet each student where she is and give her the best possible foundation for success. This approach reflects our commitment to fostering a community where every Pilot is safe, supported, and challenged—ready to soar academically and personally.
The CPDT guides placement in:
English
– English I or English I Honors
Math
– Beginning Algebra through Calculus (including Honors)
Science
– Biology or Biology Honors
World Languages
– Spanish, French, or American Sign Language (ASL)
The diagnostic itself includes:
A
quick write/timed essay
for English placement
Math and science diagnostics
to determine the best academic fit
A
world language survey
, with a brief fluency check if your daughter already speaks the language
By thoughtfully replacing the HSPT with the CPDT, we reaffirm our belief that every girl deserves to be seen, celebrated, and set up for success. Instead of measuring her against a standardized test, we are focused on helping her grow in confidence, skills, and self-discovery.
At OLP, your daughter will not only be placed in the right classes—she will also be welcomed into a sisterhood that lifts as it climbs, encourages her to be brave and bold, and prepares her to lead with heart, faith, courage, and excellence. This is more than just course placement; it’s the beginning of a high school journey rooted in empowerment and unifying love.
Open House
Where Her Journey Begins: OLP Open House 2025
Sunday, November 2, 2025 | 1:00–3:00 p.m.
Campus of the Academy of Our Lady of Peace
See What’s Possible for Her
At OLP, girls find more than a school—they discover a place where they are deeply known, fully supported, and free to shine. Here, every student is surrounded by a sisterhood that lifts her up, mentors who believe in her, and a community rooted in unifying love.
Open House is your chance to see this transformation in action: the confidence that grows in our classrooms, the joy of friendships formed without distraction, and the resilience that comes from being part of something bigger than herself.
During this special afternoon, you’ll be able to:
See her brilliance unfold
in science, robotics, art, and AP & Honors
Feel the spirit she’ll share
through cheer, dance, and student showcases
Meet the mentors who will inspire her
—teachers, staff, and future sisters
See how her faith can grow
through unifying love and service
Picture her journey here
as you tour our historic and modern spaces
Savor the OLP experience
with French Gourmet bites and café treats
Special Ways We Celebrate Her

pre-register
for Open House are automatically entered into our raffle for exciting prizes, including a
$1,000 tuition scholarship award
(winner must be present).
Pre-registration for raffle eligibility closes on
Friday, October 31, at 8:00 a.m.
Families may still register on the day of Open House, but only those who sign up in advance will be entered into the raffle.
Her Story Begins at OLP
At OLP, girls don’t just go to school. They discover their voice, grow in courage, and build a lifelong sisterhood. Here, they gain the confidence to take risks, the inspiration to aim higher, and the support to keep going when challenges arise. Rooted in faith, they also find deeper meaning in their studies and joy in being part of a community that celebrates each girl for who she is.
Open House is your chance to see it all in action. Step into our halls, meet our students, and imagine your daughter soaring as a Pilot—brave, bold, and ready to lead with heart.
