Admissions is a process that begins with an extensive phone interview with the parent/guardian of the potential student. When the interview is completed and the completed application, supplemental information and forms are received and reviewed, we can say if the student is appropriate for OBI. Families should know that financial information, counseling records and/or court records, psychiatric evaluations and school discipline records are frequently requested and reviewed during this part of the process.
When the application process is completed and approved, a campus visit is scheduled. This visit will be on a Sunday and will include an extensive orientation for student and family, a campus tour, and interviews with the family and with the student alone. Students must consent to be a student at OBI during a private interview without their family present in order to enroll. Often, the student will stay at OBI and immediately enroll. Sometimes there is a short period of further consideration before the student is invited to stay.
