Information

ALL THINGS POSSIBLE

The Bolles School is an independent, co-educational day and boarding school

schools in the Southeast, Bolles enrolls 1,637 students in grades Pre-K through
12 on four separate campuses:

Student Population

Bolles actively seeks students who represent diverse

backgrounds ethnically, culturally, religiously and
socio-economically. While day students comprise the
majority of the student population, 69 boarding students
come from 4 states and 22 countries. For 2015-16 the
School awarded over $3.8 million in need-based financial
aid (not including faculty tuition discounts). Although
most of our students parents have advanced degrees,
we enroll a substantial number of students who will be
the first in their families to attend college.

Faculty
Of Bolles 157 full-time faculty, 69 hold masters degrees,
and 8 hold doctoral degrees. The student-to-faculty ratio
is 12:1.

Accreditation
Bolles has been fully accredited by the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools since 1934, and is additionally
accredited by the Florida Council of Independent Schools
and the Southern Association of Independent Schools.
Bolles is also a founding member of the Association of
College Counselors in Independent Schools (ACCIS).

College Counseling Philosophy

We are committed to helping students conduct authentic

college searches aimed at finding the right college fit for each
individual. Toward that end, we administer a comprehensive,
Grade 9-12 college counseling program that encourages students
to become aware of their own skills, interests and values as they
seek appropriate college matches. Thus, juniors, for example,
take tests such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the
Strong Interest Inventory as part of the college counseling
process. Because of our philosophy, we do not encourage students
to use Early Decision for purely strategic purposes, and students
tend to apply to a carefully considered set of colleges.
Applications per student (2015):
% of class applying Early Decision:
% of class applying Early Action:
% attending out-of-state colleges:

Professional Ethics
As a member of NACAC, Bolles makes every effort to adhere
to the Statement of Principles of Good Practice. We report any
serious breaches of community disciplinary or ethical standards
to colleges, as recommended by the SPGP. We also advise
students of their ethical obligations both in withdrawing
applications once they have determined where they will enroll
and in placing enrollment deposits.

GPA Computations

1300

Each transcript includes a weighted Grade Point Average, listed both annually
and cumulatively, computed by including all academic course work taken at
Bolles.* Our official GPA is based on a 12-point scale with extra weight added
for Honors and AP courses (see chart at right). Students who take six or seven
academic courses receive additional quality points. The GPA is computed using
semester, not year-end, grades.
For the convenience of college admissions offices that do not recalculate GPA,
an additional 4-point weighted GPA is supplied, based upon the following scale:
A+ = 4.5, A = 4.25, A- = 4.0, etc. With this calculation, Honors courses are
weighted by a half point and AP courses by a full point, but additional quality
points for six or seven courses are not applied.

GPA Computations

1300

Each transcript includes a weighted Grade Point Average, listed both annually
and cumulatively, computed by including all academic course work taken at
Bolles.* Our official GPA is based on a 12-point scale with extra weight added
for Honors and AP courses (see chart at right). Students who take six or seven
academic courses receive additional quality points. The GPA is computed using
semester, not year-end, grades.
For the convenience of college admissions offices that do not recalculate GPA,
an additional 4-point weighted GPA is supplied, based upon the following scale:
A+ = 4.5, A = 4.25, A- = 4.0, etc. With this calculation, Honors courses are
weighted by a half point and AP courses by a full point, but additional quality
points for six or seven courses are not applied.

Information

ALL THINGS POSSIBLE

The Bolles School is an independent, co-educational day and boarding school

founded in 1933. One of the most ethnically and religiously diverse independent
schools in the Southeast, Bolles enrolls 1,637 students in grades Pre-K through
12 on four separate campuses:

Student Population

Bolles actively seeks students who represent diverse

backgrounds ethnically, culturally, religiously and
socio-economically. While day students comprise the
majority of the student population, 69 boarding students
come from 4 states and 22 countries. For 2015-16 the
School awarded over $3.8 million in need-based financial
aid (not including faculty tuition discounts). Although
most of our students parents have advanced degrees,
we enroll a substantial number of students who will be
the first in their families to attend college.

Faculty
Of Bolles 157 full-time faculty, 69 hold masters degrees,
and 8 hold doctoral degrees. The student-to-faculty ratio
is 12:1.

Accreditation
Bolles has been fully accredited by the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools since 1934, and is additionally
accredited by the Florida Council of Independent Schools
and the Southern Association of Independent Schools.
Bolles is also a founding member of the Association of
College Counselors in Independent Schools (ACCIS).

College Counseling Philosophy

We are committed to helping students conduct authentic

college searches aimed at finding the right college fit for each
individual. Toward that end, we administer a comprehensive,
Grade 9-12 college counseling program that encourages students
to become aware of their own skills, interests and values as they
seek appropriate college matches. Thus, juniors, for example,
take tests such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the
Strong Interest Inventory as part of the college counseling
process. Because of our philosophy, we do not encourage students
to use Early Decision for purely strategic purposes, and students
tend to apply to a carefully considered set of colleges.
Applications per student (2015):
% of class applying Early Decision:
% of class applying Early Action:
% attending out-of-state colleges:

Professional Ethics
As a member of NACAC, Bolles makes every effort to adhere
to the Statement of Principles of Good Practice. We report any
serious breaches of community disciplinary or ethical standards
to colleges, as recommended by the SPGP. We also advise
students of their ethical obligations both in withdrawing
applications once they have determined where they will enroll
and in placing enrollment deposits.
