Indicate on the application if you intend to apply for Financial Aid. Berkeley Carroll uses the services of the Tuition Aid Data Service (TADS) to process all need-based financial aid applications.

*Deadline is December 15th 

*Virtual interviews are reserved for international, out-of-state, or families with special circumstances.

Due to limited spaces for new students and a competitive applicant pool, interviews can only be scheduled once the student’s application, parent/guardian statement, and a copy of their 2022-2023 report card have been submitted through Ravenna. We will review all materials as they are received and extend invitations on a rolling basis into January. Once an invitation is extended, families will be able to sign up for an interview slot on Ravenna. Applicants will be interviewed separately from parents/guardians. 

Please Note: If we need further information in order to extend an invitation for an interview, we may request a copy of the applicant’s 2021-2022 report card.

*Please contact the admissions office if you have any questions.

Berkeley Carroll accepts the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE), which is administered through the Educational Records Bureau (ERB) and/or the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT), though neither test is required. Applicants will not be penalized for not taking the exam. If you do choose to schedule a test, we recommend registering as early as possible since dates can fill up quickly. Berkeley Carroll's ISEE school code is 330575, and the SSAT code is 1595. We are listed with the testing organizations as “The Berkeley Carroll School”. Please contact the admissions office if you would like to request a fee waiver.

The Common Teacher Evaluation Forms can be sent to your child's CURRENT teachers through Ravenna by entering each teacher’s email address. If the school requires paper forms, you have the option of printing them through Ravenna. Two recommendations are required -- one from an English teacher and one from a Math teacher. The teachers may need some time to learn about the students; please wait until after November 1st to request teacher recommendations.
