Step 3: Documents:
You will be asked to upload all documentation online with your application before the application is considered complete.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTS:
All applicants: Birth certificate; most recent report card; most recent standardized test results; immunization records. The student file is complete when all the above documents are provided.
6th-8th grade applicants: a reference letter from the student’s current school. K-5th grade applicants: a reference letter is not required, but certainly helpful.
1st grade applicants: 1st grade Health Screen.
Step 4: Student Assessment / Placement Testing:
Once your application is submitted and all documents are provided, our Admissions Coordinator will schedule a testing date and time. After testing, parents will meet with Dr. Ennis.
Step 5: Admissions Decisions / Invitation to Enroll:
All candidates will participate in a screening which includes a placement test, student interview and review of documents. Upon completion, each candidate will be notified by the Admission Office:
1. Accepted - Admission with Invitation to Enroll.
Once the candidate is accepted, you will be emailed with an invitation to enroll. The email will include a link to the application. If you have any questions, please contact Donna Barradas, 805-644-9515, ext. 562.
2. Wait listed - Due to full capacity, we maintain a wait list. Placement from the wait list is determined by grade level, classroom size and the review of the student's completed Admissions file. There is no number or date order of priority on the wait list. If we have a seat that opens for a wait list student, you will be notified by the Admissions office.
3. Not Accepted
Step 6: Complete Enrollment (Accepted Applicants):
Respond to the email Invitation to Enroll. Completing your enrollment includes creating your FACTS Tuition account and selecting a payment plan. If you have any questions, please contact Donna Barradas, 805-644-9515, ext. 562. At a later date, you will receive an official letter of congratulations.
