If a student has successfully completed the previous school year at another school and his/her schoolwork and behavior compare favorably to the comparable grade at the Academy, the student will be placed in the grade for which the application is made.This same policy applies to students who apply to transfer to the Academy within the same grade as the school from which they are currently enrolled. If it is determined by the Administrator and the teacher that the student may not adequately be prepared for the next sequential grade or the current grade, it may be necessary for the student to repeat or be moved to the previous grade. A conference between the parents, the Administrator and the Teacher may be required to aid in making this determination.
