We understand that finding the right school can feel overwhelming. At Brainerd Baptist School, we strive to tailor the admissions process to each family and make it as simple and stress-free as possible.
Tours are typically scheduled at 9:00 or 10:00 AM on a day that works best for your schedule and usually take about one hour. Below, you will find an overview of our admissions timeline. If you have any questions about the school or the admissions process, please feel free to email us or call 423-622-3873.
If you have an existing BBS Student and are applying for a sibling, please log in to your FAMILY PORTAL, click apply/enroll, and application (New Student) to start your application.
Request Information
Once you request information, we will email you a digital admissions packet. After you have reviewed the admissions packet, the next step is to tour the school. A link to schedule the tour is included with your admissions packet.
We are now accepting applications for the 2026-27 school year. Space is very limited.
Tour the School
This is the most essential step in the process. You will take a tour of our campus, meet with our Head of School, who will share our philosophy of education, and see what makes our school so unique. For families entering K2, K3, K4, or K5, we prefer to do the tour in the morning hours so you can see the students in the classroom environment. We also recommend that children not attend the tour, as we have a special time planned for them when they come to complete the screening process (for students entering K2-K5) or on their shadow day (for students entering 1st-5th grades)
Apply for Admission
Parents begin this process after they have completed a tour of the school. The process is all done online. Step-by-step instructions will be provided. Parents will pay the $75 application fee at this point. The submitted application holds your child’s space. Once we have received your application, we will schedule a time for your child to visit our school and complete an age-appropriate assessment. We begin accepting applications on September 1st for the following school year.
