Admissions

Enrolling Your Child

The enrollment process for new students is as follows:

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.
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.
Interviews with parents of new students are scheduled beginning in February and are ongoing.
In short, the application procedure requires:
- Completed Application for Admission

Application fee of $100 (nonrefundable)

Copies of standardized test scores and report cards from the past 2 years
Birth certificate
Copy of Shot Record
Signed Parental Contract
Student screening/testing (scheduled with school office)
Parent interview (scheduled with school office)
Upon return of a completed application, if an interview with the family has not already been held, one will be arranged with the Headmaster

When a new student is accepted, a non-refundable curriculum fee of $295 is due upon acceptance.
Admission is not considered final until the following items are received:
- Tuition Agreement is signed and proof of enrollment in the FACTS Tuition Management program is received (Required.)
- Records from child's previous school
- Health form completed by child's physician (including immunization records)
- Emergency contact form
The Headmaster will determine final acceptance and grade level placement of students.
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.

It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, or national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, and athletic and other school-administered programs. Spring Hill Academy does reserve the right to select students on the basis of academic performance, religious commitment, philosophical compatibility, and willingness to cooperate with the Spring Hill Academy administration and abide by its policies.

The student health requirements are as follows:

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.
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.
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.
