Admission

Your Journey Starts Here

We’re excited that you’re considering Tampa Bay Academy for your child’s education. Our admissions process is designed to help your family explore all that we offer and determine if Tampa Bay Academy is the right fit—Academically, Spiritually, and Personally.

Steps to Enroll at Tampa Bay Academy

Schedule a Visit

We invite you to come and experience the Tampa Bay Academy difference in person. Campus tours are available by appointment and give families a chance to see classrooms, meet staff, and ask grade-specific questions. These visits are the perfect starting point to explore our welcoming, faith-filled environment.

Submit Your Application

Our online application is simple and accessible. Once the application is open for the upcoming school year, families can submit their completed forms along with a non-refundable application fee. As part of the process, we kindly request recommendations from a current teacher and a faith leader or pastor. All checklist items must be completed before your application can be reviewed.

Assessment & Evaluation

After we’ve reviewed your application and confirmed availability, our admissions team will reach out to schedule a student assessment. VPK through 5th-grade applicants will take part in a one-on-one assessment, while students in grades 6–8 will complete a formal academic evaluation with a staff proctor.

Family Interview with the Principal

A key part of our admissions process is meeting with the principal. This family interview gives us a chance to learn more about your student and for you to get a deeper understanding of Tampa Bay Academy’s mission, values, and academic expectations.

Acceptance & Enrollment

Once accepted, families will receive an official welcome letter within a week of the principal interview. The final step is to complete the enrollment contract and submit the enrollment fee—securing your child’s place at Tampa Bay Academy.

Tuition & Financial Aid

We understand that tuition is an important part of the decision-making process when choosing a school. At TB Academy, we strive to make a faith-based education accessible to families by accepting approved third-party scholarships and offering limited need-based financial aid.
Families are welcome to apply for financial assistance through our secure and confidential process. Each application is reviewed carefully and thoughtfully, with fairness and sensitivity to individual circumstances.
Please note that applying for financial aid does not impact the admissions decision. Our goal is to support families in making TB Academy a lasting and valuable part of their child’s educational journey.
