Application & Tuition

Admission is rolling and subject to class size. We do not require letters of recommendations,
transcripts or essays to attend Girls First. Online applications will be accepted up until the
program is sold out or one week before your desired session start day. As space is limited and classes may fill up quickly, it is highly recommended that all girls complete their application as early as possible to reserve their seat.
