The Admissions Process

• We invite you to take a tour of Briarwood.
• Touring the school allows you to see our program, learn more about our school, ask questions, and see our students engaged in learning.
• Please click on the "Tour" button to select your date!

TOUR

1. Completed Parent Questionnaire
2. School Record Release Form
3. Current Report Card
4. Teacher Recommendation Form(s)
   • Please note that grades 1-5 are only required to submit one form
   • Grades 6-12 are required to have one math recommendation form and one English recommendation form
5. Testing/Evaluations - Completed within the past two years

• Psycho-education testing / F.I.E. (Full Individualized Evaluation), which includes:
• Cognitive testing (WISC-IV or Woodcock Johnson)
• Academic Achievement
• Comprehensive, professional interpretation of test scores and a relevant diagnosis
• Professional recommendations for classroom accommodations
• Speech & Language and / or Occupational & Physical Therapy Evaluation, if administered
• Assessment of Psycho-Social Functioning if administered or upon request

(All testing items must be scanned as a single attachment, rather than multiple individual attachments.)

• Once all documentation is received, the Admissions Committee will evaluate the completed application and all required documents.
• If the Admissions Committee determines that Briarwood could be a good match for your child's needs, a shadow day and screening will be scheduled. Please allow two weeks for review.
• If the Admissions Committee determines that a possible placement is not recommended, alternative educational options will be discussed.

After review of the application, students may be invited for a shadow day that includes an informal academic assessment of reading, math, and written/oral language. 

Shadow days are from 7:50 am to 2:30 pm.

After re-enrollment is completed for our current students in late February, Division Directors and the Director of Admissions will meet to discuss how many spots are available for each grade level.

Acceptances will be offered on March 10, 2023
