Financial Aid
An objective analysis of family financial information will be obtained through School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS). This service has been owned by the National Association for Independent Schools (NAIS) for over 40 years and subscribes over 2,000 private schools and other organizations across the country and abroad.
Families of students who have been accepted to The Academy at King can submit a Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) to SSS. The PFS can be filed online at www.nais.org/financialaid/sss. There is a $22 for analysis which is to be paid upon submission of the PFS form. Online resources through SSS are available to assist parents in completing the PFS, including various supplemental forms and worksheets and a supplemental form for business or farm owners and tax forms annotated to cross-reference the SSS materials.
The financial statement provided by parents will be analyzed by SSS, and a report showing the results of their calculations, a recommended “Estimated Family Contribution”, and other information and guidance will be sent to the Financial Aid Committee at The Academy at King. Members of the committee will use this information from SSS to determine how the available financial aid will be distributed.
Our Homeschool Policy
In keeping with our efforts to work collaboratively with parents in our region to provide the best possible educational experience for their children, The Academy at King will provide enrollment on a part-time basis to homeschool students.
Students desiring to enroll at The Academy for one or two courses to complement their homeschool education will be given the opportunity to do so. Participation in athletics and other extracurricular activities will be available to any student taking at least two courses at The Academy.
Parents of students interested in this option should fill out the application for admission to The Academy with a letter stating the desire for part-time admission. The cost for each year-long course taken as a part-time student is $1,000.
