Fulton Science Academy

Fulton Science Academy describes its teaching approach as rigorous, innovative, and STEAM-focused, aiming to prepare students for college, lifelong success, and engaged global citizenship while also developing character and wellbeing. It emphasizes inquiry-rich, authentic, and academically challenging learning tailored to students’ strengths and needs, alongside critical thinking, curiosity, and lifelong learning. The school also frames teaching through whole-child development, supportive and inclusive learning environments, and its I CARE values: integrity, curiosity, advocacy, resiliency, and empathy.

Fulton Science Academy says families should first submit an inquiry form for each child; once processed, they receive access to the Blackbaud admissions portal, where they can schedule tours, testing, and track checklist items. (fultonscienceacademy.org) For the 2026-27 cycle, the main admissions page lists tours running from September 15 through February, applications opening October 1, an open house on December 6, Grades 1-12 applications due February 15, Pre-K/Kindergarten applications due March 1, and decisions released the week of April 1 / on April 3, 2026. (fultonscienceacademy.org) Requirements vary by grade: Pre-K/Kindergarten applicants schedule a tour and in-person assessment, upload a preschool/pre-K progress report if applicable, and request a teacher recommendation; Grades 1-12 applicants schedule a tour, submit MAP testing or approved substitute scores, request teacher recommendations, and send transcripts plus attendance/discipline and support-plan records as applicable. (fultonscienceacademy.org) The site also states Pre-K students must be 4 by the start of school in August and fully toilet trained, Kindergarten students should be 5 (with rare early-entry exceptions), and the application fee is $100, due at the time of the K-12 admissions test. (fultonscienceacademy.org) I did not find any public admissions-page details describing a formal waitlist process or published priority categories (such as sibling, alumni, or staff priority), so those appear not to be specified on the school’s website pages reviewed.
