• 5. Submit Grade Reports

  Send grade reports from the previous year and the most recent semester (when available) to The Academy. Students applying for grades 4-8 should also submit their most recent standardized test scores.

• 6. Schedule a Visit & Assessment

  For students applying to kindergarten, these assessments will involve a visit to our school and a twenty-minute session with Ember Crippen, our kindergarten instructor.

  
  Students will meet with a member of our teaching team to chat and take an assessment.

  
  In accordance with EBISA guidelines, applications to The Academy are due January 17. With availability, we are happy to accept application materials after that date. Please don’t hesitate to call 510.549.0605 or email admissions@theacademyschool.org with any questions or concerns.

  
  It is our strong preference that students applying for kindergarten placement turn five on or before October 1.
