Prospective Families
Thank you for your interest in Foothills School!

Foothills School is currently accepting applications for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years. We strongly encourage prospective families to start and complete our application process as soon as possible. 

Our Director of Admissions, Katy Young, is available to respond to your questions and provide tours of the school. Contact Katy by email or give her a call at 208-331-9260 (ext 102).  Katy's hours are:  Mondays (2-6), Tuesdays (9-5) and Thursdays (9-5). 

To apply to Foothills School, we ask that prospective familes complete the following steps in our application process:

1.  Spend time on the school's website
2.  Schedule a parent tour and pick up an application
3.  Submit a completed application and $50 application fee
4.  For K-9th graders, submit a teacher recommendation form
5.  If applicable, ask us about financial aid
6.  By invitation, schedule a school visit

Through the admission of new families, Foothills School strives to build a family community and student body that is well matched to the school's mission, values, philosophy and educational program.  When making admissions decisions, the Admissions Committee takes into account its interactions with families, information from a student’s application, a recommendation from a previous teacher (for students in K-9th grades), and our teachers’ observations from the student visit.  Additionally, admissions decisions are  based on class availability as well as on balancing the gender and ages of students in our classes.


Foothills School does not discriminate on a basis of age, race, religion, national or ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, disability or other classifications protected by law, in all of its operations.
