Recommendation Forms
Follow the instructions in your child’s online application to send the Recommendation Forms to your child’s current English and mathematics instructors. These are accepted in the admission office directly from teachers electronically after October 1 and no later than January 31, 2021.
Online Interview
Once you have sent us your child’s application, you will be asked to schedule an online interview for your child and a parent meetup so we can get to know your family better. They are conducted by our admission staff, and are scheduled during the school day. Appointments are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Authority to Release Records (ARR)
Shortly after the first semester grades have been recorded, we will ask you to send the completed authority to release records form to your child’s current school, giving the school permission to send your child’s grades and any standardized test scores to the Academy. For parents who homeschool their child, please complete the homeschool supplement form in your child’s online application.
