Visit

There are several ways to experience what Bethany School has to offer. You can arrange a private tour or attend our next open house.

Prospective families may meet with an administrator and or other members of the Admissions Committee to assess whether Bethany School is the right fit. Once you have applied, and submitted all required documents including two letters of recommendation, our Admissions Department will contact you to schedule a shadow day and family conversation.

Apply

Parents will be asked to provide the names and email addresses of two individuals who know your child in an academic setting (teachers/administrators)  and can provide recommendations. In addition, please submit any supporting documents such as academic records, learning or behavioral plans, or other relevant information.

Shadow Visit

Shadow Days give prospective students the opportunity to experience what daily life at Bethany School is like by attending classes and other campus activities alongside a current student. Also. Each prospective student will complete their required assessment. Once you have applied and submitted the application fee, our Admissions Department will contact you to schedule a Shadow Day.

For students entering Kindergarten, we use a standardized readiness assessment prepared by our Kindergarten teaching staff (Kdg Readiness Activities). For students entering 1st to 8th grades, we use STAR Reading and Math assessments to measure academic achievement and progress. Assessments take 75 minutes to complete.  Once you have applied and submitted the application fee, our Admissions Department will contact you to schedule an assessment.

Decision

Once the admissions process has been completed, our Admissions Committee will contact you with a decision via email. New student contracts are due back to Bethany School within two weeks of issue.
