TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Baltimore Lab School has a rolling admissions process: we accept applications at any time. However, the usual procedure is to submit an application as early as possible for the following school year. It is to your advantage to apply as early as possible to allow time for application review, scheduling a visit, and completion of the process.
We cannot process incomplete applications. Please keep originals for your own files. Any materials submitted to Baltimore Lab School remain part of our confidential records. The most efficient way to complete your application is to upload all documents directly into the online application system.
The first step in the Admissions Process is to schedule a 30-minute meeting or tour with our Admissions Director. Parents/guardians unfamiliar with Baltimore Lab School should request an admissions packet or contact the Director of Admissions to arrange an informational call or tour.
Please use the following checklist when submitting an online application:
- Parent/Guardian informational call or session with Baltimore Lab School*
- Complete online application form (link provided in an email after initial meeting)*
- Non-refundable $60 application fee to cover the processing of the application and a review of the records*
- Current psychological or neuropsychological evaluation (2-3 years old from date of application)*
- Most recent report card (or equivalent from your child’s current school)*
- Teacher Evaluation(s) of Student Strengths & Needs completed by current teacher(s) or tutor*
Submitted through the online application form - Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 plan, if applicable
- Most recent Educational testing, if applicable
- Most recent Speech/Language and Occupational Therapy testing, if applicable
- Only if applying for 10th, 11th, 12th grades: most up-to-date official transcript, any standardized test reports (HSA, SOL, SSAT, PSAT, SAT, ACT), and Letter of Eligibility for Accommodations from College Board or ACT, if previously approved
*These steps and/or documentation are required to submit a completed application.
Only when a full application packet has been received will the Admissions Committee review the records. If Baltimore Lab School's program seems to be an appropriate fit for the student, they will be invited for a shadow visit in our classroom. Following the student's visit to Baltimore Lab School, an admissions decision will be made by our Admissions Committee. If Baltimore Lab School's program is not appropriate for your child, you will be notified as soon as possible after the Committee has reviewed your application materials.
Baltimore Lab School’s programs and policies are applied with equal consideration to all of its applicants and students. The School does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, disability, or any other status protected by applicable law. It is the policy of the School to provide reasonable accommodation to admitted students who can meet the academic expectations of the School. Enrollment is conditioned on the student’s ability to participate in the school’s programs, with or without reasonable accommodation. Baltimore Lab School evaluates each need for accommodation on a case-by-case basis, considering the needs of the individual students. However, the School’s programs generally are not designed to support the needs of students with primary emotional difficulties.
