New Student Online Application Form

Instructions for filling out the online form:

• You will be instructed to create an account. Your user name will be your email address and passwords should be at least 6 characters and contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one number.  Parents that already have a child attending ACA will already have an account.  Please use your PlusPortals login and password.
• Information marked with a red asterisk is mandatory.
• Students and parents MUST have different email addresses. The mother is the primary contact in our system and you must enter an email address for this contact.  The same email address CANNOT be used by the father and the mother.  If there is no email address for a contact, please enter this:  nomail@nomail.com.
• In the Documents section of the online form, you can scan in your documentation (see #3 below) and upload them. Please make sure files are in PDF format.
• In the Pay and Submit section, if you are paying by check instead of online, please check the box “Pay by Mail” and then click SUBMIT.

After the student’s application is received, ACA will call to schedule a 30-45 minute evaluation process for your student. The evaluation is given to students entering grades K5-12. These evaluations are typically scheduled beginning in late March prior to the new school year. The student will meet with an Admissions team for the evaluation.

The following items are required on the day of the evaluation:
∙ Most recent Progress Reports/Transcripts
∙ Most recent Standardized Test Scores
∙ Birth Certificate
∙ Certificate of Immunization
∙ Florida School Health Entry Form

The parents will be notified of the admissions decision as soon as possible after all academic records have been received and reviewed. Once accepted, the parents must submit a $200 nonrefundable enrollment fee that reserves a new student’s spot.  The enrollment fee must be submitted within two weeks of notification of acceptance.  This fee can be substituted with a corporate tax scholarship award letter, but this document must be on file in the office within the same two week time frame.  Failure to submit this fee by the two week deadline will forfeit the student’s spot for the coming school year.  The first billing statement of the new school year would be mailed July 1st.
