2. I live outside Simi Valley. How do I enroll in SVHS?
- For out-of-district applicants, an inter-district permit from the district of residence will be required at the March registration night. Therefore, parents should apply for this permit upon acceptance to SVHS.
3. If the school is at capacity how does SVHS determine admission for acceptance?
- Should we receive more applications than there are spaces available, a lottery will be conducted to determine acceptance.
4. What is the bell schedule at SVHS?
- The Bell Schedule for 2023-2024 can be found at the bottom of the Coming to SVHS page here.
5. I am sold! What do I do now?
- Please visit our new student registration webpage. If we are not your homeschool you will need to complete a School of Choice application prior to registration. We will have a registration night on March 7th and 8th at SVHS.
6. If I complete the School of Choice Application after February 28th will I still be able to attend SVHS?
- Families who complete the School of Choice Application after the due date can still be accepted to attend. Their acceptance status would be contingent on space available after that point in time. The application has a timestamp when completed. Students will be placed on a waitlist in the order the application is submitted after February 28th.
