 Admissions Process at Upward Trend Academy

At Upward Trend Academy, we are committed to placing students in an academic and social environment where they can thrive. Our admissions process is designed to understand each child’s unique needs and ensure they are placed in the most supportive and effective learning pathway within our school.

We encourage families to explore our website to determine if our school aligns with their child’s needs. If you believe Upward Trend Academy may be a good fit, the next step is to complete the application process.

• A $50 application fee is required to process your application. This allows us to review information about your child and determine which assessments may be necessary.
• Once we receive your completed intake packet and application fee, and if space is available, we will schedule an educational assessment for your child.

• The assessment fee is $150, which includes: 
  • A 30-minute, 1:1 educational assessment to identify current academic strengths and needs.
  • A review of collected data to guide placement decisions.
  • A family meeting to discuss concerns, goals, and the most appropriate educational path for your child.
  • 
    

Please note that our educational assessments are not norm-referenced tests and are not intended for outside services or grade-specific evaluations. We will reach out to you to schedule this assessment.

After reviewing all gathered information, Upward Trend Academy will determine eligibility and proper placement within our school. Our goal is to ensure every child is set up for success in an environment that fosters growth and progress.

If we determine that we are unable to provide the level of support needed to help your child effectively reduce behavioral challenges and make meaningful progress, we will be transparent about this. However, we are committed to helping families explore alternative options, including ABA therapy, tutoring, educational consultation, and more.

We look forward to partnering with you to support your child’s educational journey!

 An educational assessment is an opportunity for us to get to know you and your child. During this process, we observe how your child interacts with adults, their surroundings, and various stimuli. We assess their current skills and identify areas that may need additional support. The goal is to ensure we can provide the most suitable learning environment to foster your child's growth and success.
