How to Apply<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1<\/strong>: Peruse this site for information about our educational philosophy, tuition, scholarship opportunities, and other pertinent information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 2<\/strong>: Fill out this application for admission: Application Form<\/a>
Download a copy of the form. Fill out all fields, save your form to your computer. Send an email to info@lawtonacademy.com with your form and all supplemental documents as outlined in the form. Please set the subject line of your email to: “Child last name, Child first name Application Packet” (e.g. Smith, John Application Packet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 3<\/strong>: You will be contacted within a week to either set up an interview\/tour or to be put on a waiting list. If you do not hear from us in a week, please repeat Step 2, as we may not have received the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The admissions tour\/interview will last one hour.  During the tour portion, we will visit about expectations \u2013 yours and ours.  Because our program is specifically designed for gifted students, we want to ensure proper placement.  Students who have not been placed in a gifted\/talented program previously, but who are highly self-driven, do well at our school.  Therefore, being identified as \u201cgifted and talented,\u201d while preferred, is not  a prerequisite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the interview portion, your child will be asked questions and will demonstrate writing, reading, and mathematical abilities.  The math problems will be samples of problems your child should be doing at his\/her current <\/strong>grade level.  The writing will come from a prompt, and its length will be appropriate for your child\u2019s age.  The reading selection will be at your child\u2019s current <\/em>grade level. These two work samples will be saved and added to your child\u2019s application should you decide to apply at the conclusion of this meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
