Admission

We welcome full-time students in grades K–12 from Florida, any U.S. state, and internationally. Instruction is fully online—you learn from home with our support.

Apply takes just a few minutes. Questions first? Contact us—we're happy to walk you through it.

Florida and other U.S. states: Same application and grade-level steps below. We help you get started in our program; your family also follows your state's private-school requirements (such as notice or attendance) when your state expects them.

International families: You're welcome on the same academic basis as U.S. students. Learning is online from your home country; we do not issue U.S. student visas (e.g., I-20). If prior records aren't in English, we may ask for a certified translation or a credential evaluation—we'll tell you exactly what to send.

Florida families: We provide official transcripts and course information when Florida districts or colleges need to review your student's record. For tuition and Florida state scholarship programs (School Choice) and online private schools, see Tuition & fees and Disclaimers (Florida).

We look for age eligibility (or prior grade completion for transfers), a completed application, and a parent or guardian ready to support daily online learning. You'll need reliable internet and a device that meets our specs—we'll share details as you enroll.

We review prior coursework and grades (official transcript or equivalent), use placement or entrance work in math and English when helpful, and consider your application and any recommendations or short interviews. We also confirm your student is ready to learn well online.

We review prior coursework and an official transcript, use placement or entrance assessments when helpful, and check prerequisites for advanced tracks if your student wants them. The application may include recommendations and sometimes a short essay or interview. Transfer students submit official transcripts and meet any stated prerequisites.

Coming to Mind Orbit: Share an official transcript (and course descriptions if you have them). For schools outside the U.S., we may need a certified English translation or a credential evaluation—we'll be specific. Students from homeschool or non-traditional paths may take placement assessments so we start them in the right place.

Leaving Mind Orbit later: We provide official transcripts and supporting documents on request. Any new school or college makes its own credit decisions—that's standard for private schools everywhere.

Learning is 100% online. Most families already have what they need:

• Device: A current computer or tablet (Windows, Mac, or Chromebook is usually fine).
• Internet: Stable broadband so video and lessons run smoothly.
• Browser: An up-to-date Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge; you'll sign in to our learning platform securely.
• Space: Camera and microphone may be used for some activities; a quiet spot for focused work helps.

Contact us for the current tech sheet or to check your setup—we're glad to help.

Term dates, holidays, and enrollment deadlines are set each year and shared when you enroll and in the parent portal. We use a flexible, mastery-based calendar; your student's exact schedule is clarified after acceptance.

Contact the Academy for this year's calendar or deadline questions.

Begin with Apply on the website. After you create your account and complete payment (or approved access), open Learn to finish enrollment records and orientation—we guide you step by step.
