Admissions Process
We are delighted to know of your interest in Beaufort Academy for your child! Because class sizes are limited and the program is advanced for all grades, admission to Beaufort Academy is competitive.
The goal of our admission process at Beaufort Academy is to help parents make the best educational decisions possible for their children. We work closely with families to assess each applicant’s needs and abilities as well as to determine if we are the best match for each child.
The process is simplest for applicants to the Pre-K and Kindergarten programs who visit the school and take part in basic assessments that help determine readiness to enter the next grade level. The admission process for grades 1-12 is more comprehensive and includes the application, teacher recommendations, an entrance exam, an interview and demonstrated success in the previous academic year.
SCHEDULE AN ON-CAMPUS TOUR
We love meeting new families and sharing Beaufort Academy's leadership curriculum and campus life. We encourage you to visit our classrooms and learning spaces by scheduling a campus tour with Admissions by submitting an inquiry online here, or calling (843) 524-3393.
