The British Schools of America welcome students from over sixty different nationalities from both the local and international communities and a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds. Students are admitted throughout the school year where and when space is available.

Places are offered using the following criteria:

• Siblings are given priority although places cannot be guaranteed;
• successful visit and assessment of child's readiness;
• even balance of sexes (priority may be given to children of the minority sex where there is an imbalance in an individual class.)

How to Apply : Registration & Enrolment Procedure

The recommended admission procedure for all BSA schools is as follows:

• Step 1: Tour
  All prospective families considering a BSA school are invited to contact the Admissions Office to learn more about BSA and to schedule an informational tour. Open Houses are also offered and are coordinated by the Admissions Office at each school.

• Step 2: Registration
  To apply for a place at a BSA school, the following must be sent directly to the school:

  • Completed Registration Form
  • $150 non-refundable registration fee
  • Applicant Statement
  • Evaluation form(s)
  • Most recent school report/report card

  The application will only be processed when the admissions office receives the completed registration form, accompanying paperwork and registration fee. The forms can be downloaded from each school's admissions page.

  Information about academic entry or placement.

• Step 3: Evaluation Visit
  Once an application form is processed, prospective students are invited to visit the school for an evaluation visit. Each student joins their age appropriate class for a half or full day depending on their age so that the school can individually assess ability and behaviour.

  It may not be possible for a child re-locating from abroad to visit the school. In these circumstances the child may be offered a place on the basis of the school reports alone. As with all final admissions decisions, this is entirely at the discretion of the Head Teacher.

• Step 4: Enrolment
  When a student is offered a place at a BSA school, parents are required to pay a $1,000 deposit and must sign a School Agreement to guarantee the place. In signing the school agreement, parents acknowledge their commitment to paying the full tuition for the first academic year and the development levy when due, even in the unlikely event that circumstances change and the student does not attend the school.

  Tuition fees are individual to each school. Once a student has been in school for one academic year, the $1,000 deposit is refundable upon leaving as long as the school receives a full term's notice of leaving in writing.

Notice of Non-Discrimination Policy
The British Schools of America reaffirms its policy to admit students on a non-discriminatory basis, without regard to race, colour, sex, religion, or national origin.
