Admissions
Thank you for your interest in Eagle Rock School, a tuition-free residential high school and non-profit organization. Our students are truly exceptional, and it's remarkable what they are accomplishing in our community. However, we know from experience that Eagle Rock is not the right fit for everyone. How do you know if our community will be right for you? How do we decide which students to accept?
The "right" Eagle Rock student is someone that is ready to choose Eagle Rock.

“Upon arriving, I knew Eagle Rock School (ERS) was a place I needed to be because the curriculum promoted independence, leadership, and was separate from all the negative influences I encountered growing up in Southern California. All of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs were present in order for me to start the journey to self actualization. While at Eagle Rock I felt safe physically and psychologically, which was the push to engage the metacognitive:
How do I think about learning?
Who is the man I will become?
What was I taught that will not aid me in accomplishing my goals?
What do I need to unlearn?
What is the moral and ethical code that influences my decisions and how does it need to change or develop?The three years I spent at Eagle Rock School were pivotal for me to go on to become a Morehouse College graduate, international traveler, educator, Public Allies member, Presidential Service Awardee, mentor of youth, and a contributing citizen of society.”
