Admissions
Welcome to the Quality, Affordable Private School
At Templeton Academy we believe that wrestling with big questions is more important than simply reciting the correct answers. As such, we can certainly understand if you’re wrestling with the questions of where and how to educate your children. As one parent put it so well, “As I consider the kind of education I want for my own daughter, how do I predict what will give her the best shot at future happiness? At being successful, whatever that means?”
START BY CONSIDERING THE OUTCOMES
Templeton Academy’s program is designed to ensure that all graduates will:
Understand their gifts and how they can use them in a way that brings them joy and serves others;
Think creatively and solve problems by seeing challenges as opportunities, not as obstacles;
Communicate effectively as global citizens who are engaged and empathetic members of their local communities;
Become a purpose-driven lifelong learner prepared to thrive in college, career and life.
So whether success to you as a parent is for your child to get into a highly selective college, become highly skilled, or be happy, we believe that this need not be an either/or. We believe that the straightest line to all three is figuring out what motivates your child to love learning, developing projects and goals as unique as they are, and supporting them as they work to change the world.

Tuition Cancellation Insurance
Tuition Cancellation insurance serves to protect families who anticipate that their Student may not be able to complete a full academic year of study either due to illness or family relocation. Without this insurance, refunds will not be provided, as per our Terms & Conditions. Families whose Student(s) have a history of physical or mental health issues are strongly encouraged to purchase this insurance.
Tuition cancellation insurance can be purchased at a cost of 5% of total tuition and must be paid at the time of registration. The unused tuition will be refunded should one of the following events occur:
1. The Student has a serious illness that will prevent them from returning to School within 6 months. In the case of a temporary illness of 6 months or less, the Student may be granted a leave of absence from the School and apply the remaining tuition upon their return. A letter from the family doctor is required.
2. The family is forced to relocate due to a job change with the same company. A letter from the employer will be required stating that the re-location will prevent the Student from attending their current Templeton Academy campus or any other Templeton Academy campus due to distance.

What’s Up With That Logo?
Our logo captures the essence of our story and our aspirations. It’s about Students and teachers wrestling with big questions that lead to equally big “aha” moments — and in turn more questions and discoveries. For our Students, the logo’s four “questlamations” symbolizes their journey:
What are my gifts and how can I use them in a way that brings me joy and serves others?
What skills do I need and how will I attain them?
What knowledge do I need and how will I attain it?
How will I prove what I can do and who will affirm me or hold me accountable?
