At Anniston Academy, we believe that every child deserves a learning environment where they are seen, supported, and celebrated. If you’re exploring school options for the upcoming year, we’re so glad you’re here—and we’d love to welcome your family into our inclusive, play-based, and nature-inspired school community.
Below, we’ve outlined the key steps in our enrollment process to help make things as smooth and straightforward as possible.

📌 Step 1: Submit the Student Inquiry Form
If you haven’t already, begin by completing our Student Inquiry Form. This form gives us some basic information about your family and helps us keep you updated throughout the enrollment process. Your student DOES NOT need a diagnosis to attend—we accept students WITH and WITHOUT special needs. Note: If you've already submitted this form, there’s no need to do it again!
💬 Step 2: Join Our Parent Q&A Webinar – May 27
We’re hosting a virtual Parent Q&A session on Monday, May 27 at 6 PM. This is a great opportunity to connect with our leadership team, hear more about our educational philosophy, and ask any questions you may have before enrollment opens. Click here to register.
📄 Step 3: Enrollment Forms Released – May 28
Families who have submitted an inquiry form or attended the webinar will receive their official enrollment forms via email on Tuesday, May 28. If you don’t see them by the end of the day, check your spam folder or feel free to reach out to us directly.
☀️ Step 4: Summer Playdates – June 5 & July 10
We’ll be hosting optional summer playdates to give students and families a chance to meet staff, connect with new friends, and start building community. These are informal, fun events—more details will be shared soon!
💸 Step 5: Secure Your Spot – June 30
To reserve your space, a $350 enrollment deposit is due by June 30. Only one deposit per household is required, even if you’re enrolling more than one student. Whether or not your family is using state voucher funds, the deposit is still necessary to hold your spot. Make your deposit here.
🎓 Step 6: Apply for the Education Freedom Scholarship – Deadline: July 15
If your student is eligible for Tennessee’s Education Freedom Scholarship (voucher) program, the deadline to apply is July 15. This program can significantly reduce or cover tuition costs for qualifying families. Learn more and apply here.
✅ Final Step: Submit All Enrollment Paperwork – July 25
All enrollment forms and documents must be completed and submitted by July 25 to finalize your child’s spot at Anniston Academy.
✨ We’re So Glad You’re Here
Choosing the right school is a big decision, and we’re honored that you’re considering Anniston Academy. We can’t wait to welcome you to our growing community!
