APPLICATION INSTRUCTION CHECKLIST

Enrollment Opens:  March 22, 2010

The applicant is responsible for ensuring that all steps in the application process are completed. Please refer to the following checklist as you work through the entire application process because it has been created to assist you with potential questions and/or problems.  

Application/Student Questionnaire:
The application and student questionnaire must be completed, signed and returned to the school along with $350.00.  All but $100.00 is returned to the applicant if they choose not to attend LCA.  The receipt of the application fee, completed application and questionnaire initiates the formal application process. 

Interview and Visit:
A personal interview with at least one parent or legal guardian and the potential new student is required.  Personal interviews are arranged by the applicant with the Director of Admissions after a student’s application is completed and on file.

Transcript/Student Records:
Enclosed is a “Transcript Release Authorization” form requesting the applicant’s transcript.  Please give the form to the principal/guidance counselor at the student’s present school, with instructions to mail/fax the transcript to the admissions office.  A Principal/Counselor evaluation is included on the “Transcript Release Authorization” form. 

The transcript must include current courses, recent grades, and any standardized aptitude and/or achievement test scores.  

Admission Test:
Students applying for admission into grades 6-12 are required to schedule a time with the Admissions Department to complete an Admissions Test.  In some cases additional tests (i.e. PSAT, Standford Achievement, SAT, etc.) may be required or used in place of the Legacy Admissions Test. For more information or to register for the test please call the office at 409-924-0500.

Upon completion of the admissions process families will be notified of the results by the Director of Admissions.
