Applications for the highly anticipated 2024-2025 school year are now officially open, inviting bright and curious minds to become part of our dynamic educational community!

We are excited to reveal that we are also now accepting applications for our High School Program!

BASIS Independent Bellevue is accepting applications for grades 4 – 9 for fall 2024, as we expand through grade 12 over the next several years.
As a distinguished private school, we are dedicated to fostering a culture of learning that not only encourages academic excellence but also empowers students to discover their full potential.

We invite you to embark on this extraordinary journey of learning, growth, and self-discovery with us at BASIS Independent Bellevue, home of the Mountaineers!

The 2024–25 Application is Now Open!

We are now accepting applications in our Regular Admissions Application Cycle for Grades 2 – 9!

Step 1: Attend an Admissions Event (Optional)
We will be hosting a variety of admissions events between now and the start of the school year. Please join us at an upcoming event to learn more about our academic and extracurricular difference. We will host two Open Houses this season. The first is in October!

Step 2: Submit an Online Application
Families may submit an application through our website. To submit an application today, please click here. Once your application is submitted, a member of the Admissions Team will follow up with you on next steps and more.

Step 3: Teacher Recommendations Letters
All applicants are required to submit an English and Math Teacher Recommendation Letter. In our application portal, families may submit this request digitally to teachers or download the form to send to their child’s teacher(s). Recommendation letters must be submitted to Admissions directly from a child’s teacher(s).

Step 4: Official Transcripts
You will be able to download 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 school 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.

Step 5: Schedule a Virtual Family Meeting
At least one parent or guardian is required to attend this 30-minute virtual Family Meeting. All students applying for Grades 4 – 9 are required to attend. This meeting is a chance for us to get to meet your family, your student, and learn a bit more about them in a one-on-one setting. Family Meetings are conducted through Zoom. If you are applying for siblings, they will attend the same Family Meeting together.

Step 6: Schedule a Virtual Entrance Exam
All applicants will take the BASIS Independent Schools Entrance Exam. This entrance exam features three sections: math, Language Arts, and writing. Each section is 30 minutes. This exam is not a pass or fail assessment. Because the exam is a diagnostic in nature, we consider it to be just one part of our admissions process. The results of the entrance exam are not shared with the student or parents.

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. See below for more details.
