Thank you for your interest in ACTS! We are honored that you are considering ACTS as a partner in your family's homeschooling. The following steps outline our admissions process.Their order may vary depending on scheduling and the needs of each family. 

​

1. Application

Please submit the following:

• Completed Application for Admission, available on the ACTS website.

• Non-refundable $150 Application fee.

• Assessment fee of $75 per student, capped at $225 per family.

• All one-time fees may be paid through this CCB link. 

Applications for the 2027–2028 academic year open January 1, 2027.

​

2. Admissions Meeting

As part of the admissions process, both parents are required to attend a virtual meeting with a member of the ACTS Administrative Team and another member of the ACTS community. This 45–60-minute meeting gives us an opportunity to get to know your family, explain ACTS policies and procedures, and answer your questions.

​

Please review the policies on the ACTS website before the meeting and set aside this time for a focused, uninterrupted conversation. The admissions meeting ordinarily takes place before the student assessment but may be scheduled afterward with approval from the Administrative Team.

​

3. Student Assessment

Each prospective student will complete an assessment at ACTS to help determine whether our program is a good fit for the student and family, and to identify the most appropriate placement. Assessments typically last 40–60 minutes. Students entering Grade 6 and above must also submit writing samples.

​

The Registrar will contact you to schedule the assessment and provide further details, including writing sample requirements.  The Student Recommendation Form must be completed before the assessment. 

​

4. Preparatory Work Plan and Agreement (If Applicable)

Following assessment, some students may be asked to complete preparatory work in grammar, Latin, or both to help them begin their studies at ACTS with confidence. When needed, ACTS will work with the family to develop a mutually agreed-upon plan outlining the required work and expectations. 

​

Students may be reassessed in late spring or summer to evaluate their progress. All required preparatory work must be completed before the student begins at ACTS in the fall. 

 

5. Follow-Up Family Meeting

In some cases, an additional meeting with members of the ACTS community may be helpful to explore your family's homeschooling goals further and address questions that arise during the admissions process. This gives both your family and ACTS an opportunity to better understand one another.

​

Some students may also be invited to spend a day at ACTS, giving us an opportunity to get to know them better while they become more familiar with our community and learning environment. 

​

6. Admission Decision

The ACTS Administrative Team will review the application, student assessment, and information gathered during the admissions meetings before making a decision. The Registrar will notify the family of the admission decision by email. 

​

7. Family Decision and Commitment

Upon acceptance, families will receive a welcome letter, a Promissory Note, and an Enrollment Agreement—collectively, the “Signature Packet”—along with instructions for setting up their FACTS account.

​

Families will have two weeks from receipt of the Signature Packet to confirm their decision. Enrollment is finalized and the student's place on the roster is secured once the completed Signature Packet has been submitted and the FACTS account established.

​

8. Welcome to ACTS!

Once enrollment is finalized, the Administrator will email important information, including the academic calendar, book and supply lists, and instructions for Google Classroom. Your family will also be paired with a Buddy Family to help you become familiar with the ACTS community.

​

Before the tutorial year begins, families must submit all required enrollment forms and ensure that both parents have completed their background checks. To meet family volunteer requirements at ACTS, background checks must be on file with our supervisory organization, Annapolis EP Church.
