1. A clear willingness to support and uphold Foundation Academy’s mission, values, and philosophy as a Christian school.

5. Demonstrated proficiency in Reading and Math through standardized testing at or above the 50th percentile and evidence of performing on or above grade level on nationally normed tests. For Florida FAST assessments and/or End-of-Course (EOC) exams, a score of 3 or higher is required.

7. Fluency in reading, writing, and speaking English to successfully engage in classroom instruction and academic expectations.
8. Students with an IEP, 504 Plan, or other accommodation plan are welcome to apply and must meet Foundation Academy’s admissions standards.

In some cases, enrollment in an educational support program may be required at an additional cost.
