Admissions Process

How to Apply

A Supportive Process — From Inquiry to Enrollment

Admission is open to any student regardless of race, color, national or ethnic origin who demonstrates qualities such as, but not limited to, the potential to succeed within First Presbyterian Academy’s rigorous college preparatory curriculum, an appropriate level of social maturity, the desire to partner with the school in fulfilling its Mission/Vision and the ability to satisfy the school's academic, behavioral, and financial requirements.

• Step 1: Send an Inquiry

  To begin the admissions process, first complete the online Inquiry Form. This allows our team to learn more about your family and provide personalized guidance.

• Step 2: Schedule a Tour

  After you submit an inquiry, our Admissions Department will contact you to schedule a private tour of our campus. Candidates are required to schedule a tour before they can submit an application.

• Step 3: Submit Your Application

  Please submit the application and a non-refundable $175 application fee following your tour. Upon receipt of the application, the Admissions Department will request transcripts from your child’s current or previous school. If any additional educational or psychological testing is not included in the transcripts, we may request that documentation from parents be provided at that time. Please note that a Connection Conference will be scheduled only after all required records, including full transcripts and any additional testing, have been received.

• Step 4: Attend a Connections Conference

  After we receive your student’s transcript, we’ll schedule a relaxed Connections Conference with your family. We kindly ask that your student attend, as it will allow us to meet and interact. The goal is to ensure FPA and your family feel confident that we’re a good fit for each other. Following the meeting, a Shadow Day for your student may be recommended.

• Step 5: Admissions Decision

  After the Connection Conference, our Administration team will thoroughly review the student’s complete application. Based on the review, the Administration will determine one of the following actions: Acceptance: The student's application will be accepted, and an enrollment offer will be extended. Decline: The application may be declined if it does not meet the necessary criteria. Throughout this process, our Admissions Team will communicate with the family to ensure they are informed of the outcome.
