The
Enrollment
Process

We have many ways for you to get a feel for our school. Whether you take a tour of the campus, sit in on a class during our shadow program or attend our open house, you’ll get a better sense of who we are and whether you belong here.

Step 2: Apply

Ready to apply? It’s easy to get started. An online application portal, Ravenna, keeps all your application materials—including transcripts, standardized test scores, and letters of recommendation—in one convenient place.

Students entering Grades 7-8 are required to take the Independent Schools Entrance Exam (ISEE Middle Level).

Students entering Grades 9-11 can take any one of the following:
Grade 9: High School Placement Test (HSPT), Independent Schools Entrance Exam (ISEE Upper Level) or the Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT).
Grades 10 or 11: HSPT, SSAT, MCAS, PARCC, PSAT, SAT, or ACT

Throughout the fall, we will offer on-site testing. Students will need to register for the tests directly through the testing organizations.

HSPT: November 16, 2024, December 14, 2024 or January 4, 2025

To register, visit boston.stsusers.com

SSAT: December 7, 2024

ISEE: November 16, 2024, December 14, 2024 & January 4, 2025

Step 3: Consider Financial Aid

If you think a BC High education is the right choice, we encourage you to apply regardless of your family’s finances. Please visit the Affording BC High section to learn more about financial aid. Applications for financial aid are completed through FACTS, and are separate from the admission application; however they must be completed by the admission application deadline.
