The application window for attending the Barrow Arts and Sciences Academy for the 2020-2021 school year will open October 14, 2019 and close November 15, 2019. At this time, we plan to accept students into 8th, 9th, and 10th grades; however, rising 11th grade students are welcome to submit their interest as well. Space will be limited, so submit your application early!
Frequently Asked Question
Will a junior class be offered?
At this time, we plan to accept students into 8th, 9th, and 10th grades. However, we could extend to 11th grade if there is a large enough interest amongst rising juniors. We encourage these students to go ahead and submit an application during the window, and we will communicate the outcome to families as soon as possible.
