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

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. Once you have applied and submitted the application fee, our Admissions Department will contact you to schedule a Shadow Day.

Our prospective families meet with our Head of School and other members of the Admissions Committee to assess whether Bethany School is the right fit. Once you have applied and submitted the application fee, our Admissions Department will contact you to schedule a family conversation.

Parents will need to request the necessary records and recommendations from your child’s current school using this Release of Records form. We also need you to provide any IEPs, 504 Plans, or accommodation plans, if applicable through your admissions account.

Assessment

For students entering kindergarten, we use a standardized readiness assessment prepared by our kindergarten teaching staff (Kdg Readiness Activities). For students entering grades 1–8, we use the Otis Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT8) to measure cognitive abilities that relate to a student’s academic success in school. 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.
