Prospective Family Open House Recap

Thank you to everyone who joined us (in person and online) for the Prospective Family Open House and Middle Years Programme Overview. It was great to get an opportunity to meet together and talk about the unique educational program Bhaktivedanta Academy offers from Pre-k through 10th grade.

Here are links to the presentations and handouts from the meeting:

• Prospective Family Open House Presentation
• Admissions Process
• Tuition and Fees Schedule
• Introduction to Montesorri
• Introduction to International Baccalaureate MYP

If you did not get an opportunity to attend the meeting, please take a little time to review the information linked above as it will give you a general idea of what was discussed.

Applications will be accepted at the beginning of February (an email will be sent out as soon as the application is available). One of the criteria we utilize in selecting students for admission is the date of application, so don't delay, as we have a limited number of spaces available this year. You may apply online at www.bhaktischool.org/admissions.

The financial aid programs we offer have their own deadlines that are independent of our admissions schedule and are often on a first come, first served basis. Please take a moment to review the aid programs listed on our website at www.bhaktischool.org/financial-aid.

We also require all applicants to visit the school and observe in the classroom that serves the grade your child will be considered for. Please schedule your observation soon, as time slots tend to fill up quickly. You can schedule by calling 386-462-2886.

Again, thank you for your interest in Bhaktivedanta Academy. We look forward to getting to know you and your child more throughout the admissions process. Don't hesitate to call or email us if have any questions. We can be reached at office@bhaktischool.org or 386-462-2886.
