SCHEDULE A FAMILY MEETING & SHADOW DAY: These can be done on the same day or on separate days. At the family meeting, you and your student/s will meet with the Admissions Director to discuss our program, have your questions answered, and take a campus tour if you have not done one yet. The student shadow day (for Kindergarten – 12th grade) allows your student to spend time in the classroom interacting with our students and teachers.
Wait for Enrollment Notification
Our goal is to notify you if we have room by early March for the following school year. If you are applying mid-year for the current school year, we will be in close contact to ensure all the enrollment steps are completed so we can get you started asap! If we do not have space for your student, we will let you know you are in the waitpool.
Upon Acceptance, Complete Enrollment Packet ($375/student)
Upon receiving your acceptance letter, complete your online Enrollment Packet via FACTS and pay the non-refundable $375 per student registration fee. Please note that SLO Classical Academy is required to follow all state laws regarding immunizations and medical exemption letters.
Note on tuition commitment + withdrawal fees:
submitting an enrollment packet for the school year means you agree and commit to the complete cost of enrollment (registration fee, full year’s tuition, fundraising requirement, volunteer requirement, and any enrichment programs enrolled in)
