Step 1 - Schedule Visit
Step 1 - Schedule Visit
Gather as much information you can about your child. This includes any recent work samples, psychological reports, and IEPs. Unless your child(ren)'s report cards have narrative comments or anecdotal information from his/her teachers, you don't need to include this.
We want to make sure your child can thrive and be successful in our school. The more information you can provide, the easier we are able to do this from the first day he/she starts at The Academy NJ.

Step 4 - Review
There is not anything for you to do during this step. We will review your child's application and reach back out to you if we have any questions.
From our paper review as well as our meeting and discussions with you and your child, we will determine if we believe we could serve your child successfully. This usually happens within 48 hours. If we believe the answer to this is YES, then we will continue to Step 5. If not, then we will notify you of our decision.

Step 5 - Shadow Day
Step 5 - Shadow Day
We will schedule a time for your son or daughter to spend a day with us. During the Shadow Day, your son/daughter will go through a typical school day with the other students.
This time is for your child(ren) to determine if our school is a school that they would enjoy attending. It is also a time for us to determine if your child can be successful with us. In some instances, we might want to schedule more than one shadow day.
A shadow day cannot be scheduled without an Admissions Application being submitted.
