9th Grade Admissions

How To Apply To BSGE

The Baccalaureate School for Global Education is New York City’s first all-IB public high school.  We are a non-specialized, 7-12 program that has limited seats available for 9th-grade applicants.  Students who wish to apply for admission to our 9th grade must complete the Department of Education’s High School Application on MySchools.  Ask your guidance counselor for additional information about the High School application process.  

 

Students who are applying from private or parochial schools are advised to speak with their school’s Principal or Headmaster for guidance.
