In order to launch each student to a good start at Branson, we strive to place each student in the courses most appropriate to them. Each department has its own procedures for determining placement.

• Optional auditions for Dance, Instrumental Music, Vocal Music, and Acting plus Visual Art portfolio review will be held during the week of April 25.  
• Math (Required), Science (Optional) and Language (Optional) placement tests will be held during the week of May 2. 
• No placement tests are required for English, Modern World History, or Human Development.

Our goal is to ensure every freshman starts Branson with an optimal schedule – rigorous and appropriate to their individual academic profile.

Specific placement testing dates and a form to sign up for testing and classes were shared on March 31 for all students whose enrollment was confirmed with a deposit.

At Branson, we believe that technology should support student learning as seamlessly and efficiently as possible. We teach students to use devices, platforms, and media to advance their learning, to better communicate, and to become responsible digital citizens. Learn more about Technology at Branson.

You’ll need to complete a variety of health forms and other forms requiring parental signatures, including a physical, before you start at Branson. Parents/guardians of incoming freshmen will receive access to our online Magnus Health portal – where all of these forms are housed – via our MyBranson SIS (Student Information System) in June. Completed forms are due August 1, 2022.

We highly recommend that you plan ahead and schedule a physical for your incoming student well before our August 1 due date. Thank you!
