Tuition & Financial Aid
Tuition and Payment Program
If your family will be seeking financial aid, we strongly encourage you to submit your financial aid application at the same time as your admissions application. This helps ensure your financial aid request can be reviewed promptly once an offer of admission is made.
Please note that the Admissions Team does not handle financial aid decisions, and there is no need to meet with us regarding financial aid.
For most families, investing in an independent school education requires careful financial planning. If you have any questions about the admissions or financial aid process, please feel free to reach out to us at admissions@bbschool.org. Each family’s situation is unique, and BBS is committed to helping you determine the best plan for this important investment in your child’s education.
Making BBS Affordable
Applications for financial aid open on September 1st for the following school year. We will accept applications for new and current families, with preference given to our current families. Financial aid for new students will not be reviewed until the admissions process is complete. Financial aid is not part of continuous enrollment. Applications for need-based financial aid must be submitted each year to be considered for assistance. The deadline to apply is December 31, 2025.
