Admissions Process for New Families:
Step ONE: get to know ACA
Schedule a tour, attend a Kindergarten Info Night, or attend a Homeschool Collaborative Info Meeting if feasible.
STEP TWO: apply online
Click here to set up an account for our online application. (If you are a returning family applying for a new student, you will see specific instructions on how to add your child using the link above. If you are a returning family wanting to re-enroll, see the information in the “Enrollment Process for Returning Families” section below.)
New applicants will be asked to pay a $50* nonrefundable application fee. (The fee can be paid at this link after you submit your application).
Step THREE: Submit academic records
Request your child’s academic records for the prior two academic years (if applicable) and send to admissions@augustineclassical.org. Records should include report cards, standardized test results, attendance records, and any behavioral/disciplinary records. Transferring homeschool families should submit a summary of coursework and any standardized test results.
Step Four: schedule a family interview
Once ACA receives your application and records, the admissions office will contact you to set up a family interview. We ideally like to meet with both parents, and we require that prospective Logic and Rhetoric students (6th grade and up) attend as well. We ask that you review the Parent Handbook before the interview.
Step Five: notification of admittance
After all the previous steps have been completed, ACA leadership will make an admissions determination. Prospective families will be notified by email on a rolling basis after February 1, 2024. Current families are given priority placement. If there are more applicants than seats available, names of approved applicants will be placed on a waitlist.
Note: We require that all prospective students (K-12) take a placement test to confirm their class assignment. All assessments cost $75* and are administered on campus. The admissions office will contact you to set up a placement test.
Step Six: sign contract, pay tuition deposit, set up FACTS
If we have a seat for your child, we ask parents to sign an enrollment contract and pay a $500/student non-refundable tuition deposit* through FACTS, our online tuition management service. This deposit saves your child a seat in their class. You must also select a tuition payment plan in FACTS.
Step Six: apply for tuition assistance
Families who would like to apply for financial assistance may complete the “Grant and Aid” application on the FACTS portal. The tuition assistance application deadline is April 15, 2024.
*If you anticipate a problem paying any required fee or deposit, please contact us to work out an alternative arrangement.
Enrollment Process for Returning Families:
Step ONE: Sign contract
ACA will send out contracts for the 2024-2025 academic school year on January 16, 2024. Please sign and submit the contract by January 31, 2024 to hold your child’s seat in their class. Current families are given priority placement.
Returning families applying for a new student (a student not previously enrolled at ACA) will need to fill out an application on the Parent Portal. Once you login, click “Add a New Child.” You will need to walk through the enrollment process for that student, including a student placement assessment.
STEP TWO: Pay tuition deposit
When you submit your contract, you will be asked to pay a $500 tuition deposit* per student through FACTS. You will also be asked to select a tuition payment plan at this time.
Step THREE: apply for tuition assistance (if applicable)
Families who would like to apply for financial assistance may complete the “Grant and Aid” application on the FACTS portal. The tuition assistance application deadline is April 15, 2024.
*If you anticipate a problem paying any required fee, please contact us to work out an alternative arrangement.
