The Admission Process
Our office views the admission process as a two-way street — an opportunity to get to know your family and to introduce your family to life at PBDA.
Why They Chose PBDA
Meet a Teacher
"It brings me immense joy to know I am playing an active part in shaping young minds of the next generation".
Ilkay Ozgenc, PBDA teacher since 2001
Meet a Family
"The Pre-Primary program is a wonderful first school experience. In a warm and welcoming environment focused on play, children naturally learn critical skills."
Loren Klein, parent and Founder of ZenHippo
Admission Directors understand when they receive letters of reference from PBDA, that our teachers know our students well, and are aware of the academic reputation and level of preparation that PBDA provides. Our students are actively and eagerly recruited because of the quality of education and experiences they have while at PBDA.”
