Interview

Each completed application will be reviewed and a BCA representative will call to arrange an interview with both parents and the applicant. The interview is an important part of the admissions process and an opportunity to get to know the student and his/her family better. It also provides an opportunity for the student and family to ask questions regarding BCA. The entire admissions process is designed to determine if BCA can best serve the needs of the student and to encourage the right fit between the school and your family.

Applications will be reviewed and decided upon by the 15th of the month following receipt on a rolling admissions basis.

Upon admittance and acceptance, a $500 non-refundable tuition deposit (applicable toward tuition) is due per student. You will receive a registration packet to complete and return promptly.
