Admissions Process

Application Process

Our application process varies depending on the age of the child applying.  Please see the checklists below for each age grouping’s specific requirements.

1. Contact the BISB admissions team to schedule a Virtual Discovery Meeting or tour of the school with our Director of Admissions. This is an opportunity for you to tell us about your child and your family as well what you are seeking in a school experience. Our Director of Admissions will share information about BISB’s unique approaches to personalized learning and answer your questions.  This will last approximately one hour.
2. Complete and submit an online application and a "Required Additional Information for Application” form. Our application deadline for the first round of decisions is January 15.  We will continue to accept applications after January 15 and process them after the first round has been completed.
3. If your child is in school or child care, have the current school provide BISB with report cards and student evaluations by January 15, as listed on the appropriate checklist below.
4. Applicants to 5^th through 12^th grade (Year 6 through Year 13) must take a standardized test and have the results sent directly to BISB by January 15. Details on checklists below.
5. We will schedule a visit / interview between your child and our teachers.
6. All applications received by January 15 will be notified of the admissions decision on March 10.  Please note that after January 15, we will be happy to continue receiving applications and will fill spaces still open in our classes.
7. Families accepted on March 10 must complete their enrollments by April 10.
