Admissions
Our Philosophy of Admission
Family Life Academy is open to anyone interested in securing a Christian education, whom the school finds qualified for admission and who agrees (and whose parents agree) that he or she shall abide by Family Life Academy rules, expectations, policies, and procedures. It must always be understood that attendance at Family Life Academy is a privilege and not a right. This privilege must be forfeited by any student who does not conform to the school’s standards of conduct and/or who is unwilling to adjust to our environment.
All students must be convinced they want to attend Family Life Academy and agree to honestly and wholeheartedly apply themselves to “present yourself to God as one approved” (2 Timothy 2:15, NIV). They also agree to be courteous and respectful to their peers, staff, faculty, and other daily associates.
Students will be considered for admission in the order in which their applications are received, with preference given to those with siblings already attending Family Life Academy.
Twenty students will constitute a full elementary or middle school class and a waiting list will be established at that time.

Financial Aid
Christian Education is more affordable than you think!
90% of our FLA families receive scholarships!
At Family Life Academy we work hard to keep our tuition affordable.
