Admissions

Thank you for considering the British School of Chicago for such an important decision as the future education of your child. BSC's priority is to ensure that your child receives an all-encompassing learning experience which will prepare them for the world of tomorrow.

The British School of Chicago attracts children both from the local and international communities. To accommodate families who are relocated upon short notice, BSC operates on a rolling admissions programme. BSC's main intake is at the beginning of the academic year, but the school is still able to admit children as and when a space becomes available throughout the year.

Applications for entry into the 2010-2011 academic year (to start September 2010) can be submitted on or after September 1, 2009. Corresponding deadlines and application information can be found under the appropriate year group pages.

Applications cannot be activated unless accompanied by the non-refundable registration fee. Timelines for applicant statements, teacher evaluations, report cards and test scores are available under the year group pages.

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.)

The British School of Chicago reserves the right to exclude children whose behaviour or educational needs cannot be met by the school.

It is encouraged for those interested in applying to take a tour of the school. (Please refer to 'Touring the School' page) For further information please contact:
