Admissions Checklist and Tuition Schedule


The admissions process at New Village Leadership Academy is an informative one that allows the Admissions Committee to become familiar with the student, and the student's family and for the student and family to learn about the school.

Our goal is to admit students who can benefit from New Village Leadership Academy's academic and social environment. NVLA prides itself on enrolling students of all faiths, races, creeds, colors, national origins and socio-economic background who each contribute a variety of talents, experiences and goals to the New Village Leadership Academy.

Both the applicant and the NVLA community as a whole, are considered in making admissions decisions.

Student Assessment
Once the completed application has been submitted and our office has received all pertinent information from your child's current school, a student assessment day will be arranged. All prospective students will take an assessment test for academic placement.

The Admissions Committee will review the prospective student's application, admissions testing and all application materials. If it is determined that the applicant should continue in the process, the family will be notified for the Student Visit and Family Conversation.

Student Visit and Family Conversation
Once a student meets the criteria to proceed to the final step of the admissions process, the applicant and family will be invited to visit NVLA. The student will participate with other NVLA students during the day allowing him/her to get a feel for our environment, meet students, and make a decision about how well he/she fits into our environment. The family will also participate in a Family Conversation with the Admissions Committee.

This is the time for parent(s) to make a more informed decision about whether their child will thrive at NVLA.

Students will be considered based on transcripts, current grades, recommendations from their current teacher and/or principal, student assessment and the family conversation. New Village Leadership Academy admits students of any race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.
