Admissions Process

Want to join the Bennett Community?

We are no longer accepting PreK-12 applications for the 2026-2027 school year; however, registration is open for our Bambini (2 y/o) Program.

If your family has an exceptional circumstance—such as a recent or upcoming relocation—please email our team at admissions@bennettday.org to discuss options.

We'd love to meet you! If you haven't already, plan your visit to Bennett. This is a required step in our process and the best way to learn about our innovative, project-based approach.

Our application process runs a year in advance, so you will apply the school year before you want your child to enroll.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email admissions@bennettday.org or give us a call at (312) 236-6388. We look forward to connecting with you.

Warmly,
