Enrollment Process for 2025-26 School Year
We’re excited to announce that our new enrollment system is now available!
All current NBHS students and families will receive an email at the address we have on file. This email will include instructions to create and register a new enrollment account.
Important Details:
Only one account per family is needed — multiple students can be added within the same account.
Please keep your login credentials in a safe place. You’ll use this same account each year to re-enroll.
This is a faster application process! The system will pull your existing information so you’ll simply review and update it — no need to re-enter everything.
Required Documents: As part of the enrollment process, you will be asked to upload the following directly into the application:
Two (2) proofs of residency (e.g., utility bill, lease agreement, etc.)
