Enrolling Your Child at Spring Hill Academy:

Thank you for your interest in Spring Hill Academy.  The purpose and mission of our school is to cultivate both academic and spiritual maturity in the lives of our students, training them for what God has for their future.  We hope you will find enrolling your child to be a smooth process.  If you have any questions, let us know and we will get back with you as quickly as possible.

 

Step One:


 Submit application and application fee. New applications are accepted until classrooms are full. Registration is open first to returning students and their siblings, then to the public. A $100.00 non-refundable application fee must accompany all new student applications.

Step Two:

Entrance exam will be administered. Screening/testing of new students is scheduled as needed and is ongoing. This screening/testing is conducted with the appropriate teacher and the headmaster to ensure appropriate grade placement.  You will receive an email or call to schedule a time once the application has been received.
Step Three:
Interviews with parents of new students are scheduled upon completion.
  • At least one parent is required to be a Christian. The parents of students in SHA should have a clear understanding of the biblical philosophy and purpose of Spring Hill Academy. This understanding includes a willingness to have their child exposed to the clear teaching of the school's Statement of Faith in various and frequent ways within the school's program.In short, the application procedure requires:
  • The parents should be willing to cooperate with all the written policies of SHA. This is most important in the area of discipline (see the "Discipline Guidelines and School Rules" section in either of the Student-Parent Handbooks) and schoolwork standards, as well as active communication with the respective teacher(s) and administration.

 

Step Four:

Upon completion of Parent interview, the following forms must be submitted to the office:
  • Copies of standardized test scores and report cards from the past 2 years
  • Birth certificate
  • Copy of Shot Record
  • Records from child's previous school
  • Emergency contact form
  • Health form completed by child's physician (including immunization records)

Step Six:

When a new student is accepted, a non-refundable curriculum fee of $295 is due upon acceptance.  
Health Requirements and Legal:

The student health requirements are as follows:
  1. All students attending Spring Hill Academy must have on record, before attending, with the school office either a current and complete immunization record or an exemption statement (according to Tennessee Annotated) Code before entering school in the fall. Standard immunization record forms can be obtained from your family doctor. The completed copy must to be returned to school office.
  2. Before the school will issue any medication to a student, we must receive written parental permission. In order to facilitate the general dispensing of non-prescription medicine (for example, Tylenol, Tums, etc.), we have a form available for parents to grant a year's general permission to the school to issue non-prescription medicines to their student(s). This form will be filed in the school office. No prescription medicines will be dispensed without written parental permission on file with specific directions to the teacher.
  3. Other forms necessary for student health records that can be obtained from the school office are:
    • Health History: Describes the basic health/illness history of each student.
    • Emergency Form: Lists the emergency contact names and phone numbers of people who may need notification in a medical emergency. Includes signed waiver in order to facilitate necessary medical/surgical action. It is the responsibility of the parents to ensure that the telephone numbers are current for the school year
  • Enrollment, and therefore the parents' financial obligation, is contracted to be for the full school year. All contracts are to be paid in full, even if there is an early withdrawal. All tuition payments will be made through the FACTS tuition management system.
  • It is understood that parents agree to support the policies of the School as affirmed in the Parental Contract and School Guidelines on the Application for Admission form.
  • If enrollment for a particular grade is full, a waiting list will be established for that grade.
Priority in the registration process for any grade is given to current students.
