Apollo Academy Application

You’ve talked to Beth Ann and done your research (Steps 1 & 2)! We are so excited you are now on Step 3! This process is designed to make sure that this is a good fit for both your family and Apollo Academy which is why we ask you to dedicate time and thought to the process.

*Note: This form does not save your responses mid process. We recommend that you draft and save your answers elsewhere (i.e. Microsoft Word or a Google Doc), then copy/paste to the form once you’ve had a chance to thoughtfully answer all questions.

Additionally, the final section requires that you upload a letter of recommendation and any existing transcripts. Please wait to submit the application once you have these documents ready to upload.

If you have more than one child, please submit separate applications as we believe each child is their own genius. (You can use the same answers for questions about your perspective.)

If you have any questions about the application, email BethAnn@theApolloAcademy.com.
The name and photo associated with your Google account will be recorded when you upload files and submit this form.
