Admissions Meeting
After submitting an application, our admissions team will email you to schedule a Brick Admissions Zoom meeting (a 15-minute call for parents only) to share more information about the school and answer any questions. We will also be offering in-person play visits for each child applying to the Threes, Young Fours, and Fours/Fives programs.
Tours
In-person tours for all families will be available from mid-October to mid-February.
The deadline for receipt of applications is December 1 of the year before the September entry date. Preference is given to siblings and children of active Brick Church members (who joined at least one year prior to application to the school), but all are encouraged to apply.
The school admits students of any race, sex, religion, national or ethnic origin, and family configuration. It does not discriminate in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship program, or other school-administered programs.

Admissions Policy
​
The Brick Church School recognizes the importance of diversity in its student body and also seeks balance in each classroom in terms of gender, age and personalities. To this end, it welcomes children of members and non-members of the Church of all racial, ethnic, religious and other backgrounds. However, in accepting candidates for admission, the school will give preference to:
​
-
Children of parents, be they Church members or non-members, who require scholarship assistance to fulfill The Brick Church’s goal to have at least 10 percent of the students receive financial assistance
-
Children of active members of The Brick Church who joined the Church prior to September 1 of the year they are applying. [The Constitution of The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) – Part II, Book of Order 1999-2000, Section G-5.0202 defines an active member as a “person who has made a profession of faith in Christ, has been baptized, has been received into membership of the church … and participates in the church’s work and worship.” Earlier in the Book of Order {Section G-5.0102 (d.)}, it states that financial support is an important part of being a faithful member, and The Brick Church requires a timely stewardship pledge and payment as part of financial support.]
-
Siblings of non-member children who are or have been enrolled in the school.
In every instance, admissions decisions will be made by the school to preserve the best interests of the students and the quality of their educational experience both as individuals, as members of a particular class or grade, and as members of the student body of the school as a whole. Therefore, while preference will be given to the aforementioned applicants, preferential consideration will not guarantee admission.
