Enrollment OPENS for new families March 1st, 2025!
Please reach out to us with any questions or concerns. We would love to work with you!
​
Read below for information on the enrollment process, cost and subsidies, and academic requirements. We do not use a first-come first-serve admissions process. We take the following criteria into consideration when determining if ACA would be a good fit for your child.
Feel free to get in touch to learn more.
Commitment
Being a part of the Adel Classical Academy community requires a high level of commitment from both parents and scholars.
In our Lower School, greater commitment is expected from parents.
In our Upper School, while the expectation for parent commitment remains high, scholars are expected to produce greater commitment as they matriculate from Lower School into Upper School.
Readiness
Academic ability: Our desire is to have every graduate of Adel Classical Academy prepared for college academics. Therefore, every ACA scholar is expected to perform within a classical, academic environment. With that being said, we are passionate about meeting children where they are at and look forward to seeing how each of their minds work. We will work hard with parents to ensure they are learning what is needed.
Behavior: As a 'no excuses' school, we believe a child's education is enhanced by a disciplined and orderly environment. We expect our scholars to reflect order in their appearance and interactions, and we vigorously promote the biblical virtues of kindness, reconciliation, politeness, respect, and self-discipline.
