ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

The British International School of Washington is open to children aged from 2 to 18. We welcome local and international families, and your child can join our community at any time during the academic year. BISW offers rolling admissions and mid-year starts. Submit an application with applicable evaluations and records, and we'll promptly provide an admissions decision.

Every family’s application process is personalised, so we’d encourage you to speak to our Admissions Department to find out how it’ll work for you. They'll answer any questions you have about our entry requirements and schedule a tour of our campus, either in person or online.
