This is Modal Title

  • Eligible students must be current Ohio residents and entering K-7th grade during the application window.

  • ACA selects students with varying academic abilities, from those who are gifted to students who have not yet reached their academic potential. If a child has identified disabilities under a current IEP, he/she may or may not be considered for admission, based on the school’s available resources to meet that child’s specific needs.

  • The admissions committee selects students who they feel would benefit the most from the style of educational program we offer. We strive to have learners from various academic levels and backgrounds that are able to successfully handle our already challenging, comprehensive curriculum.

  • While we are truly a family-focused environment, our enrollment numbers are typically limited to a maximum of 14 students per grade level. With that being the case, it is quite plausible that we could have an entire grade filled with siblings of current students. In order to truly honor our mission to serve a broad Akron community from various cross-sections, we simply cannot give special consideration to siblings. Thus, they go through the exact same admissions process as everyone else, and we measure each applicant based upon his/her own individual merits.

  • ACA places an emphasis on off campus learning opportunities. Parents must permit their children to travel with our staff; parents do not accompany us on these trips. If a parent is uncomfortable with this, then ACA probably is not the right school for his/her child.

  • Students who are more than 2 miles from the school and qualify for the APS system will be provided transportation. Parents must apply and contact APS transportation directly. (10 North Main Street, Akron, OH 44308, Fax: (330)761-3224, Email:rcarroll@apslearns.org).

  • The waiting list will close the Friday before school year begins.
