Receive Admissions Decision
Applicants who are accepted for admission are contacted for enrollment by email, phone, or mail. If an applicant family cannot accept the enrollment offered, the child's name can be retained in the applicant pool for later consideration.
Enroll
We have two large enrollment periods each year: academic year (fall) enrollment begins in June; summer enrollment typically begins in March.
Openings are filled according to age requirements, class needs, and enrollment priorities until all classes are filled. If openings become available throughout the year, these spaces will be filled according to the priorities.
Enrollment Priorities
Our programs are designed to facilitate Stanford faculty research both through observation and participation.
As a laboratory school that supports high-quality research in child development, Bing strives to enroll a wide range of children for researchers to include in their studies. In order to have a representative sample in their studies, developmental researchers rely on having access to a varied participant pool of children.
Openings may be filled according to the following priorities:
- Currently enrolled children
- Siblings of currently enrolled children and siblings of previously enrolled children
- Children of Stanford faculty, staff, and students
- Children of Stanford alumni and the general public
