Admissions information
We thank you for your interest in our School.
Our admissions approach allows prospective families and our admissions committee a process to reflect on whether the student will thrive in our small school community. We are accepting applications for students in 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades for the 2025-26.
Admissions opens in October with two cycles of reviewing applicants.
Spaces may open up for the in-progress 24-25 School Year, so interested families are encouraged to fill out the Inquiry Form even if we are at capacity.
ADMISSIONS PROCESS
- Fill out the Inquiry Form above and submit online or print the PDF and mail it to the office at 301 E Gadsden Street, Pensacola, FL 32501.
- The office will call or email the parents to schedule a time for a Meet & Greet tour. This gives students a feel for the SoLA atmosphere and gives the parent/guardian a moment to visit with the Director of Admissions. Meet & Greets last around 20 minutes and are by appointment only.
- Student attends a "shadow" day at SoLA from 7:45 am to 11:30 am. Shadow dates are scheduled on select Tuesdays & Wednesdays.
- The student takes a norm-referenced assessment (WRAT5) that is used as an additional way of gauging the student's current academic level. Testing is offered monthly starting in January until May. Summer testing dates will be decided on an as-needed basis. There is a $50.00 non-refundable testing fee, but a copy of the scores will be given to you. (This is NOT a formal entry exam but rather a tool used in the holistic evaluation of students.)
- After receipt of official transcripts and disciplinary records, the application will be reviewed at the next admissions committee meeting.
Please call our office, and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have about our admissions process.
