NON RESIDENT TRANSFER TUITION
We are pleased to share an important update regarding non-resident enrollment for Bedford County Public School that we hope you will share with your friends and family outside of Bedford County!
At the June 2025 School Board Meeting, the BCPS School Board approved a reduction in non-resident transfer tuition. Beginning with the 2025–2026 school year, the annual tuition for non-resident students will be lowered to $500. This new rate is comparable to tuition rates in surrounding school divisions and reflects our commitment to ensuring access and affordability for families who value the high-quality education offered in Bedford County.
In addition, the application deadline for non-resident enrollment has been extended to August 1, 2025, to give families more time to plan and apply. In addition, we will extend the deadline for in-county zone transfers to August 1, 2025. Please note that final approval for transfers is contingent upon staffing and space.
