Admissions

Thank you for your interest in Frostig School West. We are pleased to inform you that we accept applications and enroll students year-round. It is never too late to join the Frostig community and help your child rediscover their love of learning!

Frostig School West welcomes students in elementary, middle and high school who have complex learning challenges. Frostig students have diagnosed learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, processing disorders, and dyscalculia, while others live with ADHD, high functioning autism spectrum disorder, and anxiety. Most Frostig students contend with more than one challenge, such as dyslexia, and ADHD, high functioning autism and auditory processing disorder.

If your child has learning differences and has struggled in a traditional school environment, Frostig may be the right fit for your family.

The admissions process begins with a guided tour that provides an overview of Frostig School West, its mission, history, philosophy, facilities, and programs. Our Assistant Head of School, Kim Petrarca, will walk you through a typical school day and share information about our learning program.
To inquire about Frostig West or to schedule a tour, please complete the form below. To discuss your child’s educational needs prior to signing up for a tour, please contact Dean Conklin at dean@frostig.org.

Frostig accepts applications year round. To begin the application process, please submit an inquiry first. After submitting an inquiry, an account will be created and you will be able to log in to complete the application through our online portal.

When submitting your application, please remember to upload your child’s recent IEP, progress reports, current transcript, psychoeducational and/or neuropsych evaluation, academic assessments and any other reports (Speech, PT, OT) that would be helpful for us to review.

Tuition for the 2026-27 academic year at the West LA campus is $62,605. That includes added costs associated with exceptionally small class size and low teacher-student ratios.

In some cases, the IRS considers the cost of tuition at a specialized school like Frostig to be a treatment for a medical condition and allows these costs to be a tax-deductible medical expense. We suggest you consult with a tax adviser.

Financial Aid

We recognize many families are not in a financial position to take advantage of our school’s services. We have established a financial-aid fund to assist those families. The fund is designed to assist with tuition support for a child with a documented financial need. Funding availability is dependent on grants we receive throughout the year.

You can apply for financial aid once your child is accepted to Frostig School. Financial aid requires re-application annually.

Apply for financial aid through Clarity.
