An Interview:

• Schedule an interview appointment by contacting the office. This is the initial personal contact between the potential student, the parent(s), and the school. During this important part of the application process:
  • The student is qualified as to their willingness and desire to learn.
  • The interviewer looks for any potential behavioral problems and/or learning disabilities*.
  • We also ascertain the commitment of the parent(s) and/or guardian(s) as to their active support of both their student(s) and the mission and focus of our School.
• Those candidates with only minor learning disabilities or low discipline problems may (depending on the individual circumstances) be accommodated at Brisbane. *We do not, however, have the resources necessary at this time to provide for the needs and nurturing of students with either severe discipline or learning disability problems.

A Trial Day at Brisbane:

• The Prospective students should come dressed in white top and navy blue bottom and actively participate in a complete day of classes. We want to be relatively sure that the student will be happy and can adapt to this new and exciting type of learning environment. The bottom line is . . . What is best for this child? Our philosophy is “If You Love Them, They Will Learn.”
