Applying to Upper School

Dear Upper School Students and Parents,

Thank you for visiting our website and taking the time to learn about the Brooklyn Friends School community. We also encourage you to visit the school to see our program in action. Please see our schedule of admissions tours, and call the Admissions Office at (718) 852-1029, extension 232, to sign up for a tour.

Please check the deadlines & updates page for important deadlines and any admissions announcements during the admissions season.

Our admissions process begins with the student’s family submitting completed Upper School application forms, along with the required application fee, to the Admissions Office. Upon receipt of the application, we will call to schedule an appointment for an interview.

See deadlines for application and notification dates. Students have an opportunity to participate in classes after acceptance.

Brooklyn Friends School has been providing a challenging academic program to its students since 1867. Guided by the Quaker principles of truth, simplicity, and peaceful resolution of conflicts, our educational environment values academic achievement, social action and interaction, and respect for individuals within a community.

If you have any questions about Brooklyn Friends School or the admissions process, please call us at (718) 852-1029, ext. 232. I am delighted with your interest in our school, and I look forward to meeting you.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Knies
Director of Admissions
