New Families
Key Dates:
November 2, 2026 — Application opens
January 14, 2027 — Tuition assistance application available
February 1, 2027 — Open enrollment begins and we begin confirming enrollment for new families with completed applications (current families are given priority enrollment prior to this date)
Step 1: Get to Know ACA
Schedule a tour or attend an open house event. We would love to meet you and answer your questions.
Step 2: Apply Online
Complete our online application and pay a nonrefundable $50 application fee. (Link will be posted on November 2, 2026.)
Step 3: Submit Academic Records
Request your child’s academic records for the prior academic year (if applicable). 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 4: Complete Placement Test
We require that all prospective students (K-12) take a placement test to confirm their class assignment. All assessments are administered on campus.The admissions office will contact you to set up a placement test.
Step 5: Schedule Family Interview
Once ACA receives your application, records, and placement test results (if applicable), 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 6: Admissions Notification
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 open enrollment. Current families are given priority placement prior to open enrollment. If there are more applicants than seats available, names of approved applicants will be placed on a waitlist.
Step 6: Sign Contract and Pay Tuition Deposit
If you are accepted and decide to move forward with enrollment you must sign an enrollment contract and pay a nonrefundable $500/student tuition deposit* through FACTS, our online tuition management service. This deposit saves your child a seat in their class and will be credited towards your tuition balance.
Step 7: 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.
*If you anticipate a problem paying any required fee or deposit, please contact us to work out an alternative arrangement.

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 and walk through the enrollment process for that student, including a student placement assessment.

A note on our application and admissions policies:
An admissions decision is made by the admissions committee based on parental understanding of, and agreement with, Augustine Classical Academy’s mission and policies, the child’s ability to successfully benefit from our educational program, and the availability of a spot in the class. The return of a signed enrollment contract and tuition deposit confirms enrollment.
Parents seeking to enroll their child after the beginning of the school year should be aware that there is a minimum of two weeks for the completion of the admissions process. A child may not attend classes until the admissions process is complete.
Although every parent or student is not required to be a professing Christian, each parent must have a clear understanding of the doctrine, philosophy, and methodology that Augustine Classical Academy employs. The key elements of classical and Protestant Christianity, as expressed in our statement of faith, will be unapologetically taught through all grade levels and across all subject disciplines. Parents who choose Augustine Classical Academy for their children are expected to cooperate willingly and gladly with the philosophy, policies, and curriculum of the school.
The school reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to refuse admission or discontinue enrollment when it is determined that the lifestyle of a student (or of the parents/guardians of the student) rises to such a level of conflict with the school’s moral principles (as articulated in the statement of faith) that it would compromise the school’s ability to effectively partner with the parent/guardian in educating the child. The school reserves the right to deny any applicant where it is determined that enrollment would not be in the best interest of the school, the family, or the child. Augustine Classical Academy does not discriminate in its admission policy based on race, national or ethnic origin, or sex. Families who are delinquent in payment of tuition to Augustine Classical Academy or who have outstanding balances at another private school are not eligible for enrollment or re-enrollment at Augustine Classical Academy.
