ADMISSIONS PROCESS
BThe admissions decision is based upon several factors. Foremost is the student’s, parents’, and TJBA’s agreement on the extent to which ta boy will be able and inclined to make full use of the opportunities provided by acceptance to the school.
Many boys accepted to the TJBA enter with very good or excellent academic records. Some do not – but during the application process it is apparent that they have the sincerity, the drive, and the parental support to succeed and lead.
TJBA teachers are well aware that the COVID-influenced years from 2020 to 2023 were a time when many students who are currently middle school- or high school-age missed out on very important educational opportunities. Our teachers are trained in quickly
identifying and then eliminating any knowledge and skill gaps so that students can move forward with newfound academic confidence.
