FAQ

How do I enroll my students?

 

When parents or school personnel are interested in enrolling a student at CHI Academy, Change, Hope, and Inspiration, the administration team will review the student's current Individualized Educational Program (IEP), 504 plan, medical records, and other relevant information. This helps determine if CHI Academy can meet the students’ needs. A tour of the academy will be scheduled, along with a casual interview with the student. The student can accompany parents or school personnel on the tour or visit at another time.

This process allows staff to become familiar with the student and their family’s expectations. During the tour, the student can meet with staff, interact with other students, and explore the school and classrooms. If the student has a current IEP and a complete, updated case study, their educational program will be implemented at CHI Academy.
