It has been an exciting admission season at BASIS Independent McLean, and it’s not quite over. Our Rolling Admission Cycle is now open!

Applications for the 2026–2027 school year are being accepted on an ongoing basis until all remaining seats are filled. We continue to accept applications for Toddler–Grade 10.   

What does this mean for you?  

There’s Still Time: Submitting an application early in the Rolling Admission Cycle improves the likelihood of securing a spot in our program, as spaces are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Rolling Admission Decisions: Applications submitted in the Rolling Admission Cycle will be reviewed as soon as they are complete. We will begin releasing decisions on or around March 23 and continue to provide them within 5–7 business days thereafter. 

What next? 

Apply! If you have not already done so, submit the online application to start the Rolling Admission Process. 

Review the Admission Application Checklist to ensure you are prepared to submit the required materials and attend the required meetings. 

Attend an Admissions Event! We continue to offer Campus Tours and Information Sessions for you to learn more about our dynamic community of learners. 

We are excited to begin this process with you and look forward to introducing you to our Red-Tailed Hawk community!
