Admissions

 

Application Process for 2019-2020

Brighter Horizons Academy’s admission process and criteria aim at considering each applicant holistically. Our decisions are based on the evaluation of the applicant’s values, character, academics, behavior, self-motivation, and citizenship.

Before filling out our online application, please make sure to read through all of the instructions. We also strongly encourage you to attend one of our Admission events or to contact us and schedule a personalized tour.

 

Priority Deadlines

For the 2019-2020 academic year admission applications, we highly encourage families to meet our priority deadlines.

What are priority deadlines? As our student body grows, we receive many more applications than we have open seats available. We therefore encourage families to apply and complete their admission process as early as possible before our sections fill up. Applicants who will meet our priority deadlines will be receiving an admission decision earlier. We will continue to accept applications after these deadlines and accept successful applicants on a rolling basis, with longer delays.

In order to beat our high peak season enrollment, please complete your application as early as possible. Applications for the 2018-2019 Academic School year opens on November 16th.

STEP ONE: Apply for Admission

Submit your online or paper application and pay a $50.00 non-refundable fee per application, upon completion of your application. Please contact the Office of Admission before applying for 11^th or 12^th grade.

Priority Deadline for Applications are accepted before January 25, 2019

STEP TWO: Document Submission

Provide your child’s current school with the School Records Release form. All documents must be submitted to the Office of Admission via email, fax (972) 675-2063, or by dropping at the front office. Please note: in order to expedite your admission process, submit all documents at once.

Priority Deadline for Admission Testing and Interviews is by March 1, 2019

STEP FOUR: Review and Decision for Admission

Admission decisions, for those who meet all the priority deadlines, will be communicated to the parents/guardians via email between March 4 and March 8, 2019.
