Crespi Carmelite High School - Encino California

Crespi Carmelite is a four-year college preparatory school for boys.

We seek students who demonstrate the ability and interest to pursue a college education.

Crespi Carmelite is open to male students of all ethnic, religious and educational backgrounds.

For applications or tours, contact Mr. Rob Kodama at (818) 345-1672 x535, or email Rob at rkodama@crespi.org

Most students enter in the 9th or 10th grade. Admission is based on four considerations:

Academic and testing records from previous school

Recommendations from previous school

Entrance exam taken at Crespi

Personal interview

Of these four, the personal interview with prospective students and parents is perhaps the most important. We want to be sure that Crespi Carmelite High School is the right place for you.

Students from other accredited college-preparatory programs may be admitted in the 11th or 12th grade. They are not required to take the Entrance Exam.

Crespi Carmelite is a Catholic school. We invite students of other faiths to attend. All students must take the religion courses required for graduation. We do not proselytize students to become members of the Catholic Church. This is clearly reflected in our Mission and Values Statements.

Some scholarships and financial aid are available. Prospective students may obtain information about these when they apply.
