Piedmont Applications Process 

Admissions Online

Welcome to Piedmont Academy and thank you for your interest.

How to Apply

Applying is easy using our Online Application. We encourage families to apply online as it simplifies submission and provides parents a tool for tracking online the status of their admission after their application has been submitted. A non-refundable fee of $125 must be submitted with each application.

Create an Online Application

To begin the Online Application process, Create an Account. Then log in to your account and Create A New Student Application for your child. You will then have the flexibility to log in and out of your account and access your open application.

After submitting the application, you will be able to track online your admissions status at the school by logging in to your account. There you will be able to print the completed applications, monitor when the school receives supplemental application forms and, if necessary, reprint the supplemental forms.

Piedmont Academy, Inc. of Monticello, Georgia, admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, financial assistance program, athletic or other school-administered programs.

Each applicant to Piedmont Academy is asked to supply recommendations from two academic teachers who are well qualified to evaluate the applicant. Please provide each teacher with a stamped envelope addressed to the Piedmont Academy Admissions Office.

The questionnaire must be returned to the school office prior to the interview date for grades 6 - 12.

Evaluation and Selection

When the student's file is complete, it is read carefully by the Admissions Committee. The committee will seek to answer the following questions: Will the candidate benefit from and contribute to our educational community? Does the candidate's academic performance suggest that he/she will be able to succeed at Piedmont? How do the candidate's credentials compare with those of others applying for admission? As the committee seeks to answer these questions, a wide range of characteristics are considered, such as scholastic aptitude, academic motivation and performance, extra-curricular activities, character, integrity, and seriousness of purpose. Family commitment to an independent school education is also a priority. Are the parents Piedmont or independent school alumni? Are siblings at Piedmont? Is the family as a whole committed to Piedmont Academy? We carefully weigh all of these factors in making admission decisions. The Admissions Office will notify the parents  as soon as a decision has been reached. Upon acceptance, a non-refundable pre-registration fee is required to hold a student's place in the class enrollment.

Transcripts

Transcripts are required of all applicants for grades 1-12. It is the parents' responsibility to see that a transcript of the student's academic record and testing record are submitted to the Admissions Office by the student's present school. Any psychological evaluations should be included.

Testing and Personal Interview

Testing of applicants for the following school year will take place during the spring. A testing date is set at a time that is convenient with the student, parents, and school. At this time, students in grades 6-12 will have a personal interview and a "shadow student" for the entire school day.

Health Information

Piedmont Academy is required by Georgia law to have on file Georgia Health form 3031 (immunization records) and Georgia Health form 3300 (eye, ear, and dental screening).
