Step 3: Student Assessment / Placement Testing

Once your application is submitted, you will receive an email from our Communications Director, Ellen Liljekvist, to schedule a testing date and time.  You will be contacted within 48 hours to schedule a testing date.  At the time of testing, both student and parents will meet with our Dean of Academic Affairs, Dr. Tammy Ennis. 

​

• Documents required for testing are Birth Certificate, (please bring original. We will make a copy) latest report card, standardized test results, immunization records, and for 6th-8th grades-a reference letter from the student's current school.  If these documents are not provided, the testing session will need to be rescheduled. This is important information to complete the assessment.

After testing we will discuss the results of the placement test with you.  A combination of testing, student interview, standardized test results, and current school transcripts are used to evaluate each candidate for admission.

Step 4: Admissions Decisions

The Director of Admissions, Dr. Ennis, along with Dean Hall, will carefully evaluate each applicant.  By mail, a candidate's family will receive official notification of the decision from the Admissions office.  Also, by email, once the candidate is accepted - the family will receive the invitation to enroll.
