Admission decisions are based on the candidate's school record, including teacher recommendations, Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (grades 3-9), and a visit to Bement's campus. It is a priority of Bement admissions to give preference to siblings of current students and to enroll a diverse student population. The kindergarten admission process follows different guidelines, and those interested should contact the Admission Office for details.

 
The admission committee looks for students who will benefit from and contribute to the life of the school. The deadline for day student applications is February 8th. There is no deadline for boarding applicants; decisions are made shortly after a boarding candidate's application is complete. The school strongly encourages day student candidates to complete the application process, including a campus visit and interview, by the February 8 deadline. Visits should be scheduled when school is in session, and can be arranged Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. Students can also plan a visit for the day by contacting the admission office.

Decisions will be made by March 10th.
