Students are welcome to sit in on a class.

Registration for 2025-2026 opens March 1st and will close on July 31st. All applications for admission must be received prior to the close date.


4. Testing and Evaluation: Testing is required for all students entering Runnels Academy. This is done during the admissions process in order to more appropriately place students. Any required testing will be scheduled through the school office.

The family interview is meant for helping both the school and the family decide whether or not Runnels Academy is the best educational option for the student. School admission is a one-time process that is handled by the admissions committee. The purpose of this meeting is to share the vision of Runnels Academy and get to know your family personally.
