The Admissions Process

The admissions process is described below for applicants to the grammar school (Jr.K-5) and logic school (6-9). We have created a thorough admissions process in an attempt not to be exclusive but to be inclusive of families who strongly desire a classical Christian education. We are seeking to create a diverse student body that would represent different backgrounds, denominations, and races. We desire to create a community where grace and respect override differences and a unity of the Spirit prevail.

1. Attend a tour or and information session, if possible, in January or February. Tours are given on Tuesdays and Fridays at 10:15am and usually last about an hour.
   
2. Read information on school from our literature and from outside sources:

   An Introduction to Classical Education by Christopher Perrin (available in our office)

   The Lost Tools of Learning by Dorothy Sayers

3. Deliver teacher questionnaires for teachers to mail to be received by Live Oak Classical School.
   
4. Complete an application for admission along with:
   
   • A $50 application fee (non-refundable)
   • Teacher Questionnaire
   • Copies of applicant's transcripts and testing
   • Small Photograph
     
5. After Live Oak has received your application and application fee, you may schedule a family interview with the Admission Committee members. This interview is for discussing the compatibility of the student’s and family’s goals with the school’s methods and philosophy.
   
6. Receive notification of Admissions Status after careful consideration by the Admissions Committee.
