CAMPUS TOUR

A campus tour is a great way to get to know Sullins. Tours can include the entire family or parents only. Tours are coordinated through the Admissions Office and can take place at any point in the application process. Email admissions@sullinsacademy.org or call 276-669-4101 to schedule a time. 

​

APPLICATION

The admission application helps us learn about your child’s learning style, your family’s stories, and your perspective as parents. We encourage you to have fun while responding to the Parent Questionnaire, especially while writing the requested essay. (Don’t worry – you won’t be graded on your writing – it’s simply a way to get to know you!)

STUDENT VISIT, TESTING, & DOCUMENTATION

 

Preschool, Junior Kindergarten, and Kindergarten

Prospective students are invited to experience Sullins by attending a preview day or scheduling a shadow visit. Preview days are held on the first Wednesday of each month, giving families the opportunity to see our classrooms in action.

​

During these visits, children participate in age-appropriate activities, while parents meet faculty, learn more about our programs, and get a sense of daily life at Sullins.​

​

• ​In accordance with state licensing requirements, children entering preschool must be fully potty trained, with no diapers, pull-ups, or training pants.

• There is no admissions testing for preschool or junior kindergarten applicants.

• Each incoming kindergarten student participates in a readiness assessment designed to help identify learning strengths and opportunities. Results are shared with parents within one week of testing.

• Students must be four years old to enter junior kindergarten and five years old to enter kindergarten by September 30.

​

For families who are unable to attend a preview day, shadow visits are available as a personalized alternative, allowing your child to spend time in the classroom and experience our community firsthand.

​
