Kindergarten Admissions

Welcome to Kindergarten at Birch Wathen Lenox!

We know that choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions your family will make—and for many, it begins right here. Our Kindergarten program nurtures curiosity, creativity, and a joyful love of learning, all within a warm and welcoming environment.

On this page, you’ll find everything you need to navigate the admissions process, including key dates, application steps, visit opportunities, and events. If questions come up along the way, our team is always here to help.

Choosing the right school is about more than academics.  It’s about joining a community where your child will thrive and your family will feel at home.We invite you to explore how BWL's tradition of excellence, innovative programs, and commitment to constructive dialogue prepare students to think deeply, engage meaningfully, and grow with confidence. By creating a Ravenna Hub account—or adding BWL to your existing Ravenna Hub—you’ll receive updates on upcoming admissions events, important deadlines, and opportunities to experience firsthand what makes our school distinctive.
