Legacy IOHS welcomes applications from high-achieving students who seek to be intellectually challenged, spiritually inspired, physically fit, and socially engaged in their local communities. If you are eager to participate in a comprehensive, holistic education program that helps you to achieve balance and excellence in all aspects of life, we welcome you to apply for the 2025-26 school year!

Application Deadlines

Our application process is structured around five key deadlines for the AY 25-26 admissions cycle:

1. February 28th, 2025
2. March 31st, 2025
3. April 30th, 2025
4. May 31st, 2025

Applications received by each respective deadline will be processed the following month, insha’Allah. For example, applications received by February 28th, 2025, will be processed and reviewed in March 2025. To ensure a smooth and timely review of your child’s application, we strongly encourage you to submit their application as soon as possible.

After June 30th, 2025, applications will be open on a rolling basis until seats are filled.

Application Fee

A $100 non-refundable application fee is required to process your child’s application, which is payable when you submit the application in our portal. This fee covers the administrative costs associated with reviewing applications, assessing eligibility, and ensuring a thorough evaluation of each applicant. Please note that the fee is non-refundable, regardless of the application outcome.

Age Ranges Guidelines

In order to be eligible to enroll at Legacy IOHS for the 2025-26 school year, your child’s date of birth must be between the ranges provided in the table below:

Your child may also be eligible if he/she is slightly outside the age range but was enrolled in a preceding grade level in the previous academic year.

For example:

• If you are applying for 6th grade and your child was born after 9/1/2014, they are falling outside the age range. However, they may still be eligible for 6th grade, provided they were enrolled in 5th grade in the previous academic year.
• If you are applying for 8th grade and your child was born after 9/1/2012, they are falling outside the final cut off date. However, they may still be eligible for 8th grade, provided they were enrolled in 7th grade in the previous academic year.

Application Process

Legacy IOHS utilizes a holistic approach to evaluate prospective candidates’ applications. We assess each student’s capacity to thrive in our rigorous online program based on the online application and supporting documents, student essay, interview(s), and test scores. While we recognize that test scores are not complete indicators of talent and intellectual ability, they do provide critical insight about a student’s general cognitive ability relative to other students, and they help to ensure that admitted students would excel in our rigorous courses.

Due to the limited number of available seats, not all qualified applicants may be able to secure enrollment for the upcoming academic year. The selection process is highly competitive, and decisions are based on a combination of factors.

A. Gather Required Documents
As you complete the online application, you will be prompted to provide the following supporting information. Before you begin your application, make sure you have all necessary documents ready in PDF format.

• Transcript (current and previous year)
• Behavior & attendance records (current and previous year)
• Standardized test score reports (current and previous year)
• Contact information for two teacher references**
• Writing sample
• Math sample

** Parents may not serve as teacher references. Acceptable references for home-schooled students include references from additional teachers or community members (e.g. Quran teacher, sports coach, scout leader).

B. Create an Application

Start by creating an account on our admissions portal. This will allow you to track your application progress, upload documents, and receive important updates from our admissions team.

Fill out the online application form with accurate details about the student’s academic background, extracurricular interests, and family information. Be sure to review all entries before submission to avoid delays.

C. Application Review

Once your application is submitted, our admissions team will review the application to ensure all required documents are provided and that the student meets our basic eligibility criteria. Successful applications will be invited for testing.

D. Admissions Testing
Applicants will be required to take a standardized assessment in Math and English to help us determine the best course placement and academic support needed.

E. Online Interview
Qualified applicants and their families will be invited for a virtual interview with the Head of School and the admissions team. This is an opportunity for us to learn more about the student’s goals and aspirations while also answering any questions the family may have.

G. Receive Decision
After the interview, families will receive an admissions decision. If accepted, families need to complete the enrollment packet and submit any required fees to secure your child’s spot for the academic year.

Please contact admissions@legacyiohs.org for any questions regarding admissions and application related questions.
