Admissions Decisions

All application items listed above must be completed in order to receive an admission decision. P3, P4, and P5 admission decisions will be emailed beginning mid-late January. Applications are accepted after January 24, and admission decisions will be made on a rolling basis until full enrollment is achieved.

Admission decisions are based on the strength of each applicant’s overall application compared with the overall pool of applicants. Parents or legal guardians will receive one of three admission decision notifications:

• Accepted – Applicant meets Bear Creek’s admission criteria, and enrollment will be offered.
• Candidate Pool – Applicant meets Bear Creek’s admission criteria, but the number of qualified applicants exceeds class capacity. If/when openings in a class occur, a qualified applicant will be selected from the Candidate Pool and offered admission. Those we are unable to accommodate will be given the opportunity to convert their applications forward to the next grade level in the following academic year. Updated information will be required, however certain items will be waived.
• Denied – Applicant does not meet Bear Creek’s admission criteria and enrollment will not be offered.
