Welcome to Wellmont Academy!
Wellmont Academy students are educated in an environment that encourages lifelong learning, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving, equipping them to engage actively with the world as representatives of Christ. We aim to inspire students with a love for learning and a desire to serve others through a comprehensive Christian education that is both personal and holistic.
Admissions Steps
We periodically have information sessions for prospective parents to attend. Please check our school calendar for the upcoming information sessions.
We also highly encourage prospective students and parents to schedule a private tour of our campus.
A visit to our campus can be an excellent opportunity for prospective students and their parents to gain a comprehensive understanding of the school’s facilities, curriculum, and culture.
We would love to see you and show you around!

This form is fairly comprehensive and will give us all the information we need to proceed with either a personal family interview or a follow-up phone call. We do require an entrance evaluation or Standardized test scores dated within 6 months prior to the student’s scheduled entrance date at Wellmont Academy.

We require an entrance evaluation or Standardized test scores dated within 6 months prior to the student’s scheduled entrance date at Wellmont Academy.

After we have reviewed your application, our admissions team will follow up with you via email to schedule a shadow day.
It is possible but not always necessary that our team will follow up a shadow day by requesting a family interview or phone call.
If you are scheduled for an in-person interview, both students and parents are required to attend interviews.
Once shadowing (or a possible interview) is completed, our team will revisit all application questions, academic information received, as well as the report given for behavior during the shadow day. Wellmont looks for well-rounded students who show openness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, are well-behaved in a classroom environment and can follow directions, and who have the spiritual and environmental support of their parents. Once all of these factors are taken into consideration, you will be sent an acceptance or a denial email.
If you receive an acceptance letter, your registration fee deposit will be required. The registration fee deposit is non-refundable and is not included in tuition.
YOUR REGISTRATION FEE DEPOSIT MUST BE PAID in order to hold your student’s seat at Wellmont. Registration fee deposits are no longer covered by Scholarship Award Letters. Please see our tuition and fees page for registration fee deposit pricing. Pricing is based on time of application submission.
If you receive a denial letter, we welcome you to re-apply to Wellmont the following semester.
After your registration fee deposit is paid and we receive your scholarship award letter (if applicable for your enrollment), you will receive a Welcome Letter from us with additional enrollment directions and portal access, and your invoice will be created for the year. Your child’s classes will not auto-populate at this time. Class population in our system is loaded mid-July of each year.
Itemized invoices are released during the summer.
Additional Information
Upon acceptance, you will receive an email that details student paperwork links needed to complete your enrollment process. Upon completion of these forms, please either email to admin@wellmontacademy.com or mail the hard copies to our office at:

Returning families register for classes during our closed registration period in February. After a registration fee deposit has been placed with our Finance Department, a Welcome Letter will be sent and our re-enrollment packet will be available to update all appropriate information on our parent portal in Praxi.
Withdrawal up to and including the 3rd week of classes will result in a prorated refund for the year’s tuition, excluding non-refundable deposits, classroom supply fees, and lab fees.
Full withdrawal from Wellmont Academy up to and including the 3rd week of school will result in a prorated refund for the year’s tuition if paid in full, excluding non-refundable deposits, classroom supply fees, and lab fees. Also in this exclusion is a $50 withdrawal fee per student, used to cover administrative costs, facilities usage, and insurance. Following the third week of school, prorated refunds are not available. Refunds are based solely on voluntary full withdrawal, not partial participation, or expulsion.
If a student is withdrawn from Wellmont Academy after the 3rd week of school or is expelled, no refund will be issued, and tuition and fees for the entire school year remain due and payable to Wellmont Academy.
Enrollment is Limited based on our teacher and facility capacity.
Campus enrollment at Wellmont is granted to a limited number of students and requires a lengthy application process, so we encourage you to start early.
