Transfer Students Admissions

There are a limited number of transfer student spaces each year. Because there are sometimes circumstances beyond a student's control, we do consider transfers into the 12th grade.  Ferrer is a college preparatory school and our students have a challenging academic program. If your daughter has not successfully completed credit at her previous school, she is not likely to succeed here.  We recognize, however, that there are many reasons why a student may seek to transfer schools.  If you are interested in a possible transfer to Ferrer, please complete the following:

  • Provide a copy of your daughter's last two years of report cards
  • Include a cover sheet with your contact information
  • Include a brief statement as to the reason for the possible transfer, including the name of her previous/current school
  • If your daughter has previously applied to Ferrer and was accepted by us, that information should be included

All the information should be faxed to Sister Christine, Admissions, at F# 212-988-3455
