Admission Procedures:

  • All parents should read and understand the policies and procedures contained in the Handbook.
  • The Online Application can be found here.
  • The office will schedule a family interview with either a board member and/or the headmaster.
  •  Bradford Academy will administer entrance screening exams to all new students.
  • After the interview and after reviewing all other required materials (as stated on the application), the headmaster will make the decision whether or not to admit the student(s).
  • The parents will then be notified of the decision regarding acceptance. If accepted, the parents will receive an Enrollment Contract and will be required to complete the enrollment online.
  • All financial arrangements between the family and the school must be understood before an admission is considered final.
  • The student’s spot at Bradford Academy will be secured once the enrollment process (including the Contract Fee) is completed and a payment plan is selected.

Admission Requirements for the Student:

  • Transitional Kindergarten minimum age:  A child must have reached the age of four years by August 31st of the fall in which he would be entering transitional kindergarten.
  • Kindergarten minimum age:  A child must have reached the age of five years by August 31st of the fall in which he would be entering kindergarten.
  • A child entering first grade must have reached the age of six years by August 31st of the fall in which he would enter Bradford (seven years old for admission to second grade).
  • If a child has successfully completed the previous school year and his school work and behavior compare favorably to the comparable grade at Bradford, the child will likely be placed in the grade for which he is applying. However, if through the administration of the entrance exam or other evidence, it is determined that the child may not be adequately prepared for the next sequential grade level, it may be necessary that he repeat the previous grade.
  • The child should understand that his parents have delegated their authority to the school. Therefore, he is subject to the instruction and discipline of the teachers and headmaster in their prescribed roles at Bradford Academy.
  • In general practice, if the student and parents comply with the requirements outlined here, Bradford Academy will admit qualifying students to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally made available to all students. Bradford Academy does not unbiblically discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, or national origin in the administration of its policies, admissions, scholarships, athletic, and other school-directed programs.

Admission Requirements for the Parents:

  • Though not required to be Christians, the parents of students in Bradford Academy must have a clear understanding of the biblical philosophy and purpose of the school. This understanding includes a willingness to have their child exposed to the clear teaching (not coercive indoctrination) of the school’s Statement of Faith in various and frequent ways within the school’s program.
  • The parents must be willing to cooperate with all the written policies of Bradford Academy. This is most important in the area of discipline (see Discipline Policy and School Rules) and school work standards, as well as active communication with the respective teacher(s) and administration, and during conflict resolution.
