The YMCA Academy admits students in grades 7-12 who have learning style differences and/or who seek a smaller learning environment, individualized teacher attention, or an alternative learning experience.
Admissions applications are accepted year-round. Since the admission procedure is competitive, parents are encouraged to begin the process as early as possible.
Step One: Submit Inquiry / Registration of Interest
Parents/Guardians should complete the Inquiry / Registration of Interest form. Upon receipt of a completed inquiry form, the family will be contacted by our admissions department.
Step Two: Tour & Visit
During the tour and visit step of our admissions process, prospective students and their parents or guardians will have a personalized meeting with our admissions department, where they can ask questions and gain insights into our school’s programs, values, and community. Families will also tour our facilities, exploring our classrooms and other key areas to get a firsthand look at our learning environment and resources.
Step Three: Application
Families will need to complete the application package. Families will be asked to share any relevant educational documentation ( IEP, report cards, psychological educational assessments, etc.).
Step Four: Classroom Visit & Parent Conversation
Our Classroom Visit & Parent Conversation Day is a key part of the admissions process, offering prospective students the opportunity to experience a day in the life at the Academy by participating in several classes. While students engage with teachers and students, parents will have the chance to meet with our Admissions Team and the Head of School to learn more about our educational approach and discuss their child’s potential fit within our community.
Step Five: Acceptance Decision
All applicants will be contacted with the admission decision.
Applicants who have been accepted can begin the enrolment process.
