    We also require the applicant's report cards, narrative reports, and standardized tests from the past two years, as well as any other pertinent information.

    Please complete the top portion of the records release form and give to the applicant's school so that these documents can be mailed to Brandeis.

  • STUDENT VISIT

    Student visits are a required part of the application process, either in small, supervised groups (Kindergarten) or as part of a shadow day for older students. Because public health guidelines may impact our ability to have visitors on campus this fall, we will be in touch with each family after their application is complete to schedule a virtual or in person student visit.

    Please contact the Admissions office should you have questions.
