  • 2. Parent/Guardian Visit: Tour & Interview

    After your application has been submitted, you may schedule your parent tour and interview; the interview immediately follows the tour. Please allow 90 minutes for the entire visit.

    The deadline for scheduling the parent visit is December 19, 2023.
  • 3. Kindergarten Applicant Visit

    We look forward to meeting your daughter when she visits Brearley! Along with five peers, she will enjoy familiar school activities during her 45 minute small group visit. The Office of Admission will schedule the date and time of your daughter's visit on a rolling basis as applications are processed. You will be given approximately two weeks notice, and a parent is not required to attend; a caregiver or family member may bring the applicant to her visit as there is no parent programming.
  • 4. Permission to Release Confidential School Report Form

    Please submit the Permission to Release Confidential School Report Form to your daughter's current school via Ravenna Hub. Her school will send us a confidential school report using the Brearley Kindergarten Confidential School Report Form or the ISAAGNY Confidential School Report Form; both are accepted.

    The school report form must be received no later than January 12, 2024 for your application to be considered complete.

    • Applicants to Kindergarten must turn five years old by September 1 of the year they enter Kindergarten. There are no exceptions. 
    • Check the Admission Calendar for all important dates and deadlines.
    • Families applying for financial assistance should check the appropriate box on the application and adhere strictly to all filing deadlines.
