It is a priority of Bement to give preference to siblings of current students and to enroll a diverse student population. The deadline for day student applications (grade 1-9) is February 1 and decisions are made on or by March 10. Domestic boarding applications are considered on a rolling basis. International students should call the Admission Office for more information regarding application deadlines and decision notifications. Kindergarten decisions are made in late March or early April. Bement will consider late applications for all grades based on available space.
