At BASIS Independent Dublin, we seek applicants who have an interest in learning at an international level, a desire to make a contribution, a willingness to work hard, and an ambition to join a collaborative, supportive, and joyful community of peers, and Subject Expert Teachers. Be ready to participate in a culture where academics are encouraged, learning is celebrated, and students have fun! In order to both ensure student success and manage the popularity of our program, admissions is a selective process.

When applying, each family will work with members of the Admissions Team whose role is to welcome new families to our program and educate them on the benefits of a BASIS Independent Schools education. They are the guides through the application and admissions process. Read below to learn more about the admissions process. 

How can I learn more about BASIS Independent Dublin?
There are several opportunities, both virtual and in-person, to learn more about BASIS Independent Dublin throughout the year.  This admissions season, we will offer virtual information sessions, in-person Open Houses, and campus tours.  Additionally, we are always happy to schedule a phone call or Zoom meeting with interested families.

Admissions Cycles
This year, we have two admissions cycles: Early and Regular Admissions.  Early Admissions is for Grades 5 – 9 applicants, while Regular Admissions is for Grades 5 – 10.

What’s the difference between Early and Regular Admissions?
Early Admissions: If BASIS Independent Dublin is your top choice, we recommend applying in Early Admissions.  You will receive an admissions decision in December, and you will have an earlier commitment date if your child(ren) is accepted and you choose to enroll.  Your private school search will be complete by December instead of March!

Regular Admissions: Families of students applying in Regular Admissions are notified of an admissions decision in March, which aligns with the admissions notification timeline from other Bay Area private schools.

What are the admissions requirements?

1) Attend an Admissions Event (Optional)
Though not required, we strongly recommend you attend one of our Admissions Events to learn about our program before applying.

To view our upcoming Admissions Events, click here. 

2) Submit an Application
You will submit an application with general student information. This will officially start the application process! In your application, you will be able to request Teacher Recommendation Forms, send the Transcript Request Form, and schedule your student’s Entrance Exam and Family Meeting. We also keep families up to date on their application through a dashboard in their account. 

PLEASE NOTE: Steps 3, 4, 5, and 6 may be completed in any order, but must be completed after the application is submitted, and before the Deadline to Complete the Application.

3) Teacher Recommendations
Your student’s CURRENT English and Math teachers must fill out Teacher Recommendation Forms.  If your student has the same teacher for both subjects, which is not uncommon for grade 5 applicants, please have that teacher fill out both forms.

4) Transcripts
You will be able to send a Transcript Request Form in your application. This form requests your child’s current school to send us a current-year report, along with the last two years. As listed in the instructions of the request form, we do not accept documents from parents. All transcripts must be sent from the school to the Admissions Office directly. 

5) Register for a Standardized Entrance Exam
New for the Fall 2027 application cycle, we accept scores from the ISEE or SSAT.  You can learn more about this change and what to expect at your standardized exam here.

6) Family Meeting
At least one parent or guardian is required to attend this 30-minute Family Meeting. Students applying are required to attend. For families applying for multiple students, only one family meeting is required to be scheduled. This meeting is a chance for us to meet your family, ask your student(s) questions about their specific interests in school, and get to know them a bit more in a one-on-one setting.

Once all supplementary materials are received and required meetings are attended, your application is complete! If you complete your application by the completion deadline, you will receive an admissions decision on the notification day.

The Family Meeting is an essential part of the admissions process at BASIS Independent Dublin and is part of our final admissions decision. This 30-minute meeting is the school’s opportunity to learn more about your child and your family’s interest in our program.

While we are happy to answer questions about our program, the Family Meeting is not intended to be the first time families learn about our offerings. Prior to the Family Meeting, we strongly encourage families to visit our website and blog, attend an Admissions Event, or speak with a member of the Admission Team.

During the Family Meeting, we will ask about your student’s academic trajectory, interests, and motivation, as well as your family’s educational philosophy and goals. Our purpose is to understand how and why BASIS Independent Dublin fits in with your family’s educational objectives.  We discourage any formal interview prep, as it tends to make students more nervous when we are just trying to get to know them. We want all students to feel comfortable and be themselves!

Below are some commonly asked questions about the Family Meeting:

Who is required to attend the Family Meeting?
At least one parent or guardian is required to attend along with the student who is applying. If your child is not present for the Family Meeting, you will be asked to reschedule. 

What if we are applying for more than one student?
Only register for one Family Meeting, and bring both students to the same meeting. 

By when does the meeting have to take place?
Those applying in Early Admissions must complete their Family Meeting by their Completion Deadline, Wednesday, November 18, 2026. Those applying to Regular Admissions must complete their Family Meeting by their Completion Deadline, Friday, February 12, 2027. 

How do we register for a Family Meeting?
Once you submit an application, you will be guided in the application portal to schedule your Family Meeting.  You will receive a reminder email 24 hours before your meeting time with a Zoom link to your virtual meeting.

If you’re not ready to choose a date and time, you can always log back in at a later date and choose one that is convenient. Please note: As we get closer to the Completion Deadline, there are fewer meeting times available. We would suggest scheduling one as soon as you are able. 

At BASIS Independent Dublin, we seek applicants who have an interest in learning at an international level, a desire to make a contribution, a willingness to work hard, and an ambition to join a collaborative, supportive, and joyful community of peers and Subject Expert Teachers. Be ready to participate in a culture where academics are encouraged, learning is celebrated, and students have fun! In order to both ensure student success and manage the popularity of our program, admissions is a selective process. 

This year, BASIS Independent Dublin will no longer be administering the BASIS Independent Schools Entrance Exam. Instead, we will accept scores from the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) or the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT). While either score is accepted, BASIS Independent Schools will only be hosting the ISEE on their campuses. 

Can families submit scores from both exams? 
No, for easier tracking, workload of admissions teams, and time constraints of the admissions committees during the review period, only one set of scores can be submitted. 

What is the ISEE? 
The ISEE is a comprehensive admission test accepted by over 1,200 independent schools. Used for students entering Grades 2-12, the ISEE offers valuable insights to both schools and families. 

Why is BASIS Independent Dublin using ISEE this year instead of the internal exam? 
After thoughtful consideration, we have decided to adopt the ISEE for the following reasons: 

• Consistency and Equity: The ISEE provides a standardized and widely recognized measure of academic readiness, ensuring a consistent and equitable evaluation process for applicants. 
• Comprehensive Insights: The ISEE assesses verbal and quantitative reasoning, reading comprehension, and mathematics achievement – giving us a well-rounded understanding of each student’s academic strengths. 
• Flexibility for Families: The ISEE is offered at numerous testing locations, allowing families to choose a date, time and, setting that works best for them. 
• Alignment with Peer Schools: Many of our peer institutions also use ISEE, which helps streamline the process for families applying to multiple schools. 

We believe this change will enhance the admissions experience for families, while providing us with valuable insights to ensure a strong academic match for our incoming students. 

What does the ISEE assess? 
At the Lower, Middle, and Upper levels for applicants to grades 5-12, the ISEE assesses applicants on four interconnected categories: quantitative reasoning, mathematics achievement, verbal reasoning, and reading comprehension. The comprehension and achievement section measure knowledge, or what students have learned. The reasoning sections measure students’ logical thinking skills and their capacity to learn. There is also an essay component to the ISEE, which allows students to showcase their writing abilities. 

Will families have access to the results of the exam? 
Yes, families will receive a scored report from ISEE. To view a sample of a score report and to learn more about how to understand the report, click here.   

How is the writing sample of the ISEE scored?  
Local Admissions Teams score the writing sample. Teams will assess the student’s ability to express their ideas clearly, their mastery of English grammar and spelling, their vocabulary/word choice, voice, sentence fluency, and usage of conventions. 

Will families have access to the results of the writing sample? 
No. 

How often can my child take the ISEE? 
ERB allows your child to take the ISEE once per testing season, up to three times per school year. The seasons include Fall (August-November), Winter (December-March) and Spring/Summer (April-July). 

How many sets of scores can I submit to BASIS Independent Dublin? 
For Early Admissions, students can submit one set of scores from an ISEE taken between August 2026 and November 2026. For Regular Admissions, students can submit one set of scores from an ISEE taken between August 2026 and February 2027. No scores from before August 2026 will be accepted. 

Additionally, BASIS Independent Dublin will only accept and consider one set of admission test scores per applicant. If we receive more than one set of test scores, we will only review the test scores from the chronologically earliest test date. 

How much does it cost to take the ISEE? 
The cost to take the ISEE varies based on both the testing method, and your student’s grade level. Review full pricing details here. BASIS Independent Schools has no control or influence over the pricing of the ISEE. 

Does BASIS Independent Dublin offer fee waivers? 
No.  

How long is the ISEE? 
For Lower level applicants (grades 5 and 6) the exam lasts 2 hours and 20 minutes with two breaks. 

For Middle (grades 7 and 8) and Upper (grades 9 – 12) level applicants, the exam duration is 2 hours and 40 minutes, also with two breaks. 

What materials should my child bring to the test site on exam day? 
Students are allowed to bring a small snack and drink (not in a glass bottle) to have during their break. 

They are required to bring four #2 or HB pencils, four erasers, and two black or blue ballpoint pens. Testing sites do not provide students with writing materials. 

What forms of identification should my child bring to the test site on exam day?

How can my child prepare for the ISEE? 

ERB provides free online sample tests to help students familiarize themselves with the exam portal and question types. 

When and where can I access my child’s ISEE scores? 

Your child’s ISEE scores will be available at iseeonline.erblearn.org. You will receive an email notification when the Individual Student Report (score report) is posted to your account. 

How does BASIS Independent Dublin receive my child’s ISEE score report? 

Parents will elect to share the score report with BASIS Independent Dublin through their ERB Parent Portal. 

Will BASIS Independent Dublin accept a digital or printed version of my child’s ISEE score report? 

No, only documents sent directly through the ERB Parent Portal will be accepted. 

Does BASIS Independent Dublin prefer one exam over the other? 

No. The ISEE and SSAT are equally acceptable. Admissions committees will consider scores from either assessment as just one component of our holistic admissions review. 

Can students take the ISEE at a different location and share the results of the exam with BASIS Independent Dublin? 

Yes, if more convenient, students can take the exam at another testing site and parents can share the results of their exam directly with us in their ERB Parent Portal. 

When are the In-Person ISEE dates at BASIS Independent Dublin? 

There are three test dates available:

• November 14, 2026 (this is the only in-person option for Early Admission applicants)

At BASIS Independent Bellevue, we seek applicants who have love learning, have a desire to make a contribution, a willingness to work hard, and an ambition to join a collaborative and joyful community of peers, Learning Expert Teachers, and Subject Expert Teachers. Be ready to participate in a culture where academics are encouraged, learning is celebrated, and students have fun! 

In order to both ensure student success and manage the popularity of our program, admissions is a selective process. For students applying to Kindergarten and Grade 1, an In-Person or Virtual Play Date is required.

What is a Play Date?
The play-based assessment provides our administrators and admissions staff the opportunity to get to know your child and observe your child’s social-emotional and academic development in a small group or one-on-one setting.

These assessments may be held virtually or in-person and are conducted by our highly trained admissions and administrative staff. Applicants participating in an In-Person Play Date will be grouped with two to three other similarly aged children and will engage in fun, age-appropriate activities. Applicants participating in a Virtual Play Date will be one-on-one with an administrator and will also engage in fun, age-appropriate activities.

A typical assessment features activities such as looking at pictures, identifying colors, reading sight words, solving basic math facts, and drawing together. We strive to make your child feel as comfortable as possible during the assessment.

How do we register for a Play Date?
Once you have submitted your application, you will be prompted to schedule your Play Date. 

If you’re not ready to choose a date and time, you can always log back in at a later date and choose one that is convenient. Please note: As we get closer to the Completion Deadline, there are fewer meeting times available. We would suggest scheduling one as soon as you are able. 

How will the Play Date be held?
If you registered for a Virtual Play Date, you will receive a confirmation and reminder email 24 hours before your meeting time with a Zoom link to your Virtual Play Date. When your meeting time arrives, please log in to your meeting via Zoom. 

If you registered for an In-Person Play Date, please arrive to the Front Office 10–15 minutes before the scheduled time of the assessment.

How long is the Play Date?
Play Dates are generally 30–45 minutes long. Oftentimes, those hosting the Play Date will have back-to-back appointments and will be unable to go over the 45-minute mark. 

What if my child doesn’t speak English?
While we understand not all students will be proficient in English, we are looking for more than a beginner level of English fluency. Students should be able to answer questions from the host about themselves, numbers, colors, a book or toy, etc. in English. The host should not have to speak slowly or repeat themselves for the child to understand. The adult attending the Play Date should also not offer any assistance or translation for the child.

What if my child doesn’t know all the answers?
That’s ok! We are meeting with them to gauge where they are socially, emotionally, and academically. We know and understand not all students are in the same place. 

What if my child doesn’t do well due to unforeseen circumstances?
We know children don’t always have good days, a good night’s sleep, their tummy hurts, they are overly shy – we understand all these things. 

It is the right of the Admissions Office to reschedule if we feel it is necessary, however, we will not offer to reschedule if the adult feels the child did not do well or perform their best. As this is an assessment, only one opportunity for the assessment is allowed.  

Will we know the results of the Play Date?
No, we do not share assessment results with applicants or parents.

In-Person Play Dates

Where are the Play Dates held?
In-Person Play Dates are hosted in our Front Office in our Admissions Play Date Room. We recommend arriving 10–15 minutes early to ensure that you have time in to sign in and allow your child to feel comfortable in our school environment.

When it is time to begin, our team member will greet students in the front office and walk together down the hallway to the Play Date Room.

Who is required to attend the Play Date?
One adult (a parent, guardian, caregiver, or family member) is required to be present and remain in the Front Office for the full duration of the assessment.

What if my child doesn’t want to leave the front office?
We aim to finish goodbyes in the front office and hope that students will walk independently with our team member to the Play Date Room. We understand that separation can be difficult and suggest that you speak with your child about what to expect and emphasize that they will be going to a fun activity to play with other children (we leave it up to you to know how to best approach this with your child). If separation from one parent/guardian is particularly difficult, you might arrange for someone else to bring the child to the assessment.

What should my child bring with them?
Applicants are not required to bring any materials with them to an In-Person Play Date. All materials will be provided by our team!

Virtual Play Dates

Where are the Play Dates held?
Virtual Play Dates are hosted via Zoom. You will receive a confirmation and reminder email 24 hours before your meeting time with a Zoom link to your Virtual Play Date. When your meeting time arrives, please log in to your meeting via Zoom. 

Who is required to attend the Play Date?
One adult (a parent, guardian, caregiver, or family member) is required to be present, but this person is expected to only provide technical support as needed. We hope to interact with your child independently of the adult.

We ask that the adult in the room sit behind and to the side of the child so that our teacher or administrator may be able to effectively conduct this assessment without adult interference. 

What materials should be brought to the Play Date?
Your child should be comfortable and sitting in a chair at a table. Please have these materials ready for your child:

• A recently created piece of artwork
• Several sheets of paper
• Writing or drawing utensils (crayons / color pencils / markers / pencil)

We look forward to meeting your student(s) at their Virtual Play Date!

What is the ISEE?
The ISEE is a comprehensive admission test accepted by over 1,200 independent schools. Used for students entering grades 2–12, the ISEE offers valuable insights to both schools and families.
