ADMISSION PROCEDURES

 

The Director of Marketing, upon request of the prospective family, mails an information packet. Usually, an appointment is scheduled for the prospective family to tour the school. After receiving the completed application and fee, the Director of Marketing establishes an admissions file for each prospective student. The applicant arranges for transcripts, previous school records (report cards, discipline, attendance, testing, etc.), teacher evaluations, and administrator evaluations to be sent to the attention of the Director of Marketing. When the applicant’s file is complete, the admissions team reviews the file and informs the applicant of the school’s decision.

 

Once a grade level is filled, Macon – East Montgomery Academy will maintain an applicant list for prospective students who qualify for admission, but are not offered spaces due to classroom limitations. If a vacancy occurs at any time, the admissions team will review the applications of those students on the applicant list and make a selection based on the date of acceptance.
