Admissions Criteria:
Orion International Academy seeks to enroll students with above average capability who are of good
moral character. Students are admitted on the basis of academic testing, school records, teacher
recommendations, and an interview. First preference is given to returning students. Currently enrolled
students who do not enroll by February 1 are not guaranteed acceptance for the upcoming school
year. Preference is given to applicants whose siblings attend Orion International Academy and satisfy the
above criteria. Remaining spaces will be filled during open enrollment. All candidates are carefully
considered. No student has the right to re-enrollment. All applications for re-enrollment are approved at
the sole discretion of the school's Admissions Board. We strive to make a fair decision based on the
services that our school can provide for each child, as well as what the student can contribute to Orion
International Academy.
Orion International Academy admits students without regard to sext race, color, national or ethnic origin.
We set high goals for our students, and we expect them to work hard and strive to reach their potential
with the support of their parents/guardians.
All students will be admitted to the grade level according to state stipulations. Kindergarten students must
reach age 5 by September 1.
