Atholton Adventist Academy’s website directs new families to (1) contact the school (webform/email/phone), (2) take a tour, (3) complete the application and pay the application fee, (4) complete an assessment process, and (5) attend a family meeting with the Principal; applications are submitted/managed through their FACTS/RenWeb online application account where families can track status. The Admissions landing page says they were “accepting new student applications now for the 2024/2025 school year” (this wording appears outdated as of February 10, 2026) and does not list an application deadline, so families are steered to contact admissions directly. The site’s forms indicate common enrollment requirements such as records requests for prior school grades, a student recommendation (from a prior teacher/principal), and health documentation (medical exam form and immunization certificate; blood lead testing is required for Pre-K and for new Kindergarten/new 1st grade). For international students, the school lists additional required documents (e.g., transcripts/report cards, two recommendations, passport/ID, bank verification) and states that all required documentation/fees must be received before an I-20 is issued, with tuition due in full before the term begins. The published 2025–2026 school calendar lists multiple Open House sessions (Oct 9, 2025; Oct 18, 2025; Jan 15, 2026; Feb 20, 2026; and Jun 17, 2026) as key admissions-related events, but the website does not describe a waitlist process or any enrollment priority categories.
