CURRENT FAMILIES
In January, current families will receive an invitation to re-enroll current CBA students for the following school year.
Siblings of current CBA students will need to complete an initial application form and an enrollment packet. Please email admissions@charlestonbilingualacademy.org if you would like to apply for a sibling to attend CBA.
NEW FAMILIES
New families may inquire and apply at any time. They will be considered for the new school year once priority re-enrollment has ended for current families in February.
- Fill out the Charleston Bilingual Academy Inquiry form.
There is no charge to fill out this form and no commitment to enroll. - Interview and tour with the Headmaster.
You will automatically receive an email invitation with the link to schedule an interview and tour with the headmaster once you submit an Inquiry form. - Apply.
After your school tour and interview with the Headmaster, the admissions office will send an invitation to submit an Application form.
To complete an application packet, families will need to:
___Provide school references and records.
___If applicable, provide a report documenting your student’s performance (academic and behavior) along with the parents’ good standing with prior schools (relationally and financially).
___Complete the CBA Post-Tour Questionnaire within 2 business days.
___Submit a $20 application fee and the associated credit card fee directly to FACTS Management, the host of CBA’s family portal and student database. - The admissions team will review the student’s application packet and contact the family with the next steps.
All families will be notified of their application status, regardless of the enrollment decision.
If acceptance is confirmed, you will receive an email indicating that your child’s spot will be reserved for 2 business days to complete enrollment!
To complete enrollment:
___Submit student records including a SC-DHEC immunization or exemption form and your child’s birth certificate.
___Review the Parent-Student Handbook.
___Pay the non-refundable Enrollment Fee.
Enrollment is not complete until all documents have been submitted and the enrollment fee has been paid. - Financial Aid
Families who plan to request financial assistance may fill out a FACTS financial aid application form.
Any family can apply for tuition assistance through FACTS Management, a third-party financial aid assessment.
FACTS charges a $40 processing fee.
Families must reapply each school year. - Waitlists
Charleston Bilingual Academy has a rolling admissions process and maintains waitlists due to a high demand for most Early Childhood Education programs. If your child is placed on the waitlist for the current school year, you will be notified.
Waitlists do not carry over to the next school year. If you would like to enroll your child for future years, please submit a new application for that year when open enrollment begins in February.
