Admissions

Discover whether Trace Academy is the right fit for your family

Trace Academy is designed for families who value strong parent partnership, Christian discipleship, and academic growth. Our admissions process helps ensure that Trace is a good fit for both the student and the family.

As part of the admissions process, families complete a parent interview and students participate in an assessment. Admissions decisions are based on academic readiness, social readiness, and a review of prior school records or scores. 

We invite families to learn more about Trace, ask questions, and schedule a tour to see our school in person. Tours are available by appointment.
