ADMISSION PROCEDURE
Attend an Information Meeting
This is required so that parents fully understand the expectations of their involvement in the education of their child at FAMF. Parental involvement is mandatory.
Review All FAMF Material and Pray
Please carefully go over each handout given at the information meeting. If you have any questions, please contact us. Pray about this important decision.
Complete the Admissions Forms
Once you are convinced that this is where your family should be, complete the application (one supplement per additional child), include the $45 application fee, and return it to FAMF.
Family Interview
Each family applying for admission will be interviewed in order to verify that FAMF is the best educational option for your child. This meeting also enables us to personally answer any questions about FAMF. The admissions committee conducts this one-time interview. Someone will call to arrange the interview once your application has been processed.
Letter of Acceptance
Once the interview has been completed, each family will receive a letter informing them of the committee's decision. Once accepted, the student may register for classes. You must pay a deposit when registering that includes a non-refundable enrollment fee of $200 per student, $400 max per family.
Testing and Evaluation
Placement testing is required for all new students and can be completed at any point during the admissions process. The tests are given to determine the entrance grade level based on your child's Math and English skills in relation to our curriculum. Students who apply as seniors must pass the 12th grade placement test for both English and Math and meet with the Academic Advisor to obtain approval for registration. Parents should contact the office to schedule the test. A one-time $45 testing fee is required prior to testing.
