BIA Lottery Process
All admission to BIA is through a lottery, facilitated by Lotterease. All students wishing to be considered for admission must apply through Lotterease.
There are limited openings remaining for the 2026-2027 academic year. After applying through Lotterease, acceptance invitations will be sent as seats are available.
For the 2027-2028 academic year, students must apply to the lottery through Lotterease after February 1, 2027. (Please note the lottery does NOT roll over from previous years.). The lottery for 2027-2028 will be pulled on March 4, 2027. All students entered in the lottery after March 4th will be added to the admissions waitlist until the 2027-2028 year’s lottery, anticipated to close in late 2027.
The BIA admissions lottery is facilitated by Lotterease. When you see the Lotterease Seal on a school website, you can be confident that your application will be included in the school lottery in a fair and transparent way. That is because Lotterease is an independent automated lottery system that the school uses to manage their lottery and waitlist. Since Lotterease is an independent system, the school staff do not have the ability to manipulate or adjust the lottery outcome. They must work within the requirements of the system. To register for the admissions lottery, please create an account and enter your students in the lottery at Lotterease.
For families enrolling students in Kindergarten through 8th grade, Ms. Swift, our registrar, is offering in-person help sessions for technical assistance with the admissions lottery. Please schedule an appointment by clicking here.
For any inquires inquiries related to enrollment, please email Ms. Swift at cswift@biaschool.org.
Appointment confirmations will be sent by Ms. Swift prior to the scheduled time.
