Transfer Students
Transfer students are welcome at Fox Valley Lutheran High School.
If you’re considering a high school transfer to FVL, you’re not starting over—you’re stepping into a school community committed to supporting you as you finish strong, grow in confidence, and navigate a new environment.
Whether your student is coming from a public school, private school, or homeschool setting, we’ll walk with you through every step of the transition so the process feels clear, supported, and manageable from day one.
First Steps

You won’t navigate it alone—we’ll walk it with you.
What to expect as a transfer student
Every student’s transition looks a little different. Some students adjust quickly, while others need more time to find routines, friendships, and a sense of belonging. Our role is to support that process at each step so no one navigates it alone.
At FVL, students are known, supported, and encouraged—academically, socially, and spiritually. From your first visit, you’ll see a school that values relationships just as much as rigor.
Athletics & Transfer Eligibility
If your student plans to participate in athletics, WIAA transfer eligibility rules apply to all incoming transfer students.
Before enrolling, our Athletic Director can help you understand:
- Eligibility timelines
- Sport-specific considerations
- What to expect during the transition
Why Families Choose FVL
Families transferring to FVL often tell us they were looking for more than a school—they were looking for:
- Strong academics with real support
- Faith integrated into daily life
- A welcoming community that makes transitions easier
