How do I arrange a campus visit?
What is required to receive an admission decision?
The official campus visit, main application, teacher recommendations, a personal recommendation, school transcript, and ISEE test results. The steps and deadlines involved in our application process are outlined in the admission packet and on this website, but your child will need your assistance and guidance along the way. Our admission counselors are also available to assist throughout the process.
Who makes the final decision?
We strongly encourage parents of children entering grades 6-8 to make the final decision of which school your child will attend. In the case of students applying to the upper school in either the boarding or day programs, the majority of parents agree on the list of schools to which the student will apply, allowing the student to make the final decision. With older children, it is vitally important to understand each other's expectations before applying.
Does Baylor give scholarships?
Each year, Baylor offers need-based financial aid to make its educational experience accessible to qualified students, regardless of their socio-economic back ground. To receive information about financial aid, please check the appropriate box on the admission application, or call the Admission Office at 267-5902. Requests for financial aid information will not affect admission decisions.
