Step 3: Complete an Application
Complete our 2026-2027 Application to tell us more about your child and family.  If a student is transferring into BIA, we may ask for supporting documentation from their current school. We may also invite them to come for a classroom visit, depending on the grade. This allows prospective students to join our current students and teachers, getting a real sense of BIA’s welcoming atmosphere and engaging learning environment. Our Admissions Coordinator will arrange this after you've completed an Application.

Step 4: Enrollment

                                                        $400 per child OR $600/family (2 or more children)
                                                        This is applied towards your August 2026 tuition
​​
                                                       2) Non-refundable Enrollment Fee of $200 per child
 

• If you do not accept your spot before the deadline by submitting the above fees, we cannot guarantee a space for your child in 2026-2027 & you may be placed on a waitlist.
