ADMISSIONS POLICIES
Foundation Academy’s Mission is to partner with families and the church to build a firm foundation for life through Christ-centered education. Applications for the 2026-2027 school year will be accepted and processed beginning September 8, 2025. All completed applications enter an applicant pool and top candidates will be selected for open spaces, if any. The first consideration before applying should be our Minimum Admissions Criteria listed below. At Foundation Academy, we carefully and prayerfully review every application. While meeting the minimum admissions criteria is essential, it does not automatically mean a student will be admitted or placed in the wait pool. Because space is limited, admission is offered to the strongest candidates, and others may be placed in the wait pool. We want families to know that every applicant is given thorough consideration, even if we are not able to extend an offer.
ADMISSIONS CRITERIA
(Minimum Requirements For All Grades) The Parent and Student are in support of Foundation Academy’s mission and philosophy as a Christian school. Students must demonstrate acceptable conduct & good behavior as evidenced on prior report card evaluations. The student should have a clean discipline history with no suspensions, expulsions, or history of behavioral issues. Report Cards should reflect solid academic performance with no failing marks or indicators of academic difficulty. No D’s, F’s, U’s, or N’s (or equivalent) will be accepted in the academic subject areas. Students applying to grades 6th – 12th must have an unweighted GPA in core classes of 2.8 or higher (Math, Science, English, History/Social Studies) Applicants must show proficiency at the 50th percentile or higher in Reading and Math on standardized testing and be on or above grade level (this means a 3 or higher on FAST tests). Students should have acceptable attendance records with no more than 10 absences in a semester unless an exception or hardship is noted. Students must be fluent in reading, writing, and speaking English. Students with an IEP, 504, or other accommodation plan must meet the admission requirements, and understand admission may not be offered if it is determined that Foundation Academy is unable to meet the academic, emotional, medical, or behavioral needs of the student as outlined in the plan. If the student is offered admission, they may be required to enroll in an educational support program at an additional cost.
