We’re excited to share that the Rolling Application Cycle for BASIS Independent Bellevue has officially launched for the 2026–2027 school year!
There are still remaining seats available in Kindergarten, Grade 2, and Grade 9. Applications for 2026–2027 will continue to be accepted by our team until all remaining seats are filled, and a wait pool of applicants has been established. There is still time to secure your child’s seat for next year!
Due to increased demand and the competitive nature of the application cycle, we’re excited to say that our seats have been filled in grade 1 and grades 3–8. This means that students who apply for Rolling Admissions in these grades will be applying to join our waitpool.
However, each year there is always movement in our seats from the spring to fall, which means that we reach out to applicants in our waitpool to offer seats as they become available. Applicants on our waitpool often have the chance to secure a spot before the school year begins!
What does Rolling Admissions mean for my family?
Students who applied for Regular Admissions were asked to submit their applications by January 23, 2026. Any applicant who submits an application past this deadline is considered a Rolling Applicant. Rolling applicants must complete all the same application steps from the Regular Admissions Cycle.
Rolling Admissions applicants will receive their decision on a rolling basis, within 10 business days of the application being completed.
If I apply for Rolling Admissions is it still possible for my child to be offered a seat?
Yes, it is possible that we will still have seats available after the Regular Admissions Cycle has concluded. However, should our seats fill during Regular Admissions, your Rolling Application will become eligible for our wait pool.
When should I apply for Rolling Admissions?
Sooner rather than later! We will begin reviewing rolling applications as soon as the Regular Admissions Cycle has ended on a first come, first served basis. The sooner your apply, the sooner we can evaluate your child’s application.
If we apply and make it on the wait pool, will my child be last on the list?
No! Students in our wait pool are not ranked. This is why we do not consider it a wait list but a wait pool. Whenever a seat becomes available, we evaluate all students in the pool and offer the seat to the applicant that seems to be the best fit, considering all aspects of their application. Applying for the wait pool as a rolling applicant does not hinder your chances of being offered a seat, should one become available.
Can I still come visit the school?
Yes! We will continue to offer one-on-one tours for the duration of the spring. If you would like to attend a Campus Tour, submit this form on our website and our Admissions Team will contact you.
If my child makes it on to the wait pool but is not offered a seat this year, will they be guaranteed a seat next year?
No, applicants are not held for the next admissions cycle. If you wish for your child to be considered for the following year, you will need to reapply.
How can my child take the ISEE for grades 2–9 during Rolling Admissions?
Since our in person ISEE testing dates on our campus have already past, all rolling applicants can take the ISEE using ERB’s at-home testing option or another authorized testing site. You can visit the ERB website to get your child’s ISEE scheduled. If you do not see a testing date or time that works for you, we recommend contacting ERB directly, as we have found them to be very helpful in adding testing options for families.
