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. (Please note: We are NOT accepting applications for intermediate students (entering grades 7 and 8) at this time.)
After May 1st, we accept applications on.a rolling basis.
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. (Summer Admission - skip this step)
- The student takes a norm-referenced assessment (WRAT5) that is used as an additional way of gauging the student's current academic level. 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 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.
