Praise Academy

Praise Academy asks families to start by inquiring or visiting, then complete its online application and pay a non-refundable $100 application fee; the school says there are several steps in the process and that submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance. (praiseacademy.com) Prospective families are expected to agree with the school’s Statement of Faith, Vision, Mission, Philosophy, and Core Values, and the site says at least one parent and the applying child(ren) must be faithful to a local church and be professing Christians; the school also says it is seeking “best fit” families and is not intended as a corrective placement for pronounced academic, discipline, or social problems. (praiseacademy.com) For admissions priority, the public policy does not list separate categories such as sibling, staff, or legacy preference; instead, it says selection for open spots is based on the student’s application date, compatibility with the school’s educational and spiritual objectives, and suitability for the class sought. (praiseacademy.com) The website does not publish a general admissions deadline, but it does publish financial-aid timing: submissions open January 1 each year, completed aid applications/documents received by March 1 are reviewed in late March, decisions are communicated in April, and awards must be accepted within seven business days. (praiseacademy.com) On waitlisting, the tuition/admissions material references a “2025-2026 enrollment waiting pool,” but the publicly available admissions pages do not explain how that waiting pool works or any separate waitlist rules beyond the application-date/fit/class-suitability criteria above.
