In 2024, Beaver will host Admission Information Events on October 17, November 7, and December 12 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Please join us for any of these optional information sessions to learn more about Beaver and the application process. Registration is required through your Ravenna account.

A tour and interview are required parts of the admission process and must be scheduled by December 15, 2024. Tours and interviews are offered from September 30, 2024, until January 17, 2025. Once you have started an application you can schedule your interview through Ravenna.  If all appointments are booked please call the Admission Office at (617) 738-2725.

• Please schedule your visit as soon as possible.
• Your application does not need to be completed in order to schedule your interview.
• Please call the Admission Office to schedule more than one student or if you have any questions.

At least one parent or caregiver should accompany the applicant. The interview includes separate conversations with the applicant and parent(s)/caregiver(s). During the parent/caregiver interview, students will complete a writing sample. These interviews are an opportunity for us to get to know the student/family and for you to get to know more about Beaver. You can expect the visit to take about two hours.

All application materials are due by January 15.

Testing

Due to equity and access concerns with standardized testing this year, Beaver will no longer require test scores of any kind for admission to fall 2024. We understand, however, that some students have already taken the test and they are welcome to send those scores to us. If you have any immediate concerns about testing, please contact us via email at admissions@bcdschool.org.
