The IMG College Planning and Placement Center works with all students including post-graduates to create an individualized roadmap to reach their goal of studying and playing their sport at the collegiate level. This work begins upon a student’s entry into high school (grade 9) and incorporates families, coaches, and university admissions and athletic staff in their efforts. Application Process
The IMG Pendleton School seeks to enroll students of sound character, who show academic promise and ability. We have a large and exceptionally well-qualified applicant pool from which we select our class. The goal of IMG is to bring together a class that will not only thrive academically, but also contribute positively to our diverse population in talent, background, and experience.
Grades 6 - 12 and Post-Graduate Students
Most students enter IMG in grades Six or Nine. Each year, we add approximately 45 new students in the Upper School, which makes it nearly triple the size of our Middle School. There are also openings for new students in grades Seven, Eight, Ten, and Eleven, due to the attrition of enrolled students. We offer admission to a limited number of students applying to enter Grade Twelve.
Candidates for admission to IMG are encouraged to apply in the early fall. Application materials are available in the Office of Admissions and on the School’s website. We hope to receive completed application forms as soon after that date as possible.
We schedule visits year-round for applicants and their parents. When you visit IMG, your tour will be led by a student-athlete advisor, followed by separate interview with the Director of Admissions.

To apply to the Elementary School, you are encouraged to begin the process in the fall prior to the year of entrance. We welcome parents to take a tour, meet with the Director, and visit with a member of the admissions staff. For Grades 1-5, we require the application for admission, a school report, teacher feedback form, and any testing results. Children must be five years old before September 1 to enter Kindergarten. For application to the Elementary School WITHOUT enrolling into an IMG Academies sports program, please use this application.
Since most new students enter in Kindergarten, spaces for grades 1-5 are available only through attrition. We will be pleased to consider an application from your child should openings occur. Applications can be filed at any time and supplementary materials should be forwarded to the school.
