Any eighth or ninth-grade student who is a resident of Bristol County and anticipates being promoted to the next grade by their local school district is eligible to apply for fall admission or admission during the school year provided that space is available.

Interview
The Interview is a required step in the application process. Depending on what school you go to, we might conduct interviews there. Otherwise, we'll reach out to you to schedule a time.
We will send you the interview questions ahead of time. The questions are not a test, we just want to get to know more about you and why you are interested in Bristol Aggie! Take a deep breath, and be yourself.
Recommendation
The only other thing you need to do is choose someone to fill out your recommendation form. You can choose one person from your middle school to fill it out for you (math teacher, guidance counselor, basketball coach, chorus director, etc.) It's up to you! We will send you the form directly and you can pass it along to whomever you choose.
Hearing Back from Us
Once you've applied and had your interview, you can login to your account to track the progress of your application but, no matter what, you'll get a letter in the mail from us with the results of your application. We appreciate your patience with this process! If you have questions about your application, you can email admissions@bcahs.com and we'll be happy to help you.
