Takoma Academy

Takoma Academy emphasizes holistic Christian education—developing students spiritually, mentally, socially, and physically—within the Seventh-day Adventist educational tradition. It aims for academic excellence while recognizing diverse interests and talents, cultivating independent thinking and practical skills for success in society. The school also stresses service, respect for others in a diverse community, and personal responsibility grounded in Christian values.

Takoma Academy directs new families to submit an online application through its FACTS/RenWeb enrollment link and then provide school records (official transcripts plus current achievement-test/test scores) and three recommendations. (ta.edu) After required documents are received, the school schedules an admissions interview with the parent/guardian, student, and an administrator, and families receive an acceptance status by email. (ta.edu) To complete registration/enrollment, the handbook lists additional required items such as a physical exam for new students, immunization records, final transcript/test scores, and a signed financial plan; the handbook also notes the school offers limited support services and may deny or later require transfer if it cannot meet a student’s needs. (ta.edu) The public materials do not list an application deadline; however, the admissions page says families should expect a financial plan by email at the beginning of July, and the financial information page posts tuition-installment due dates for payment plans (e.g., July 1, 2025; August 1, 2025; August 31, 2025; January 1, 2026). (ta.edu) No waitlist process or explicit admissions priority categories are described on the admissions page/handbook; the handbook states no religious affiliation is required (though the school is sponsored by the Potomac Conference SDA Church), and the school offers a discounted “constituency” tuition rate for Potomac Conference members with membership verification.
