What is your admissions process?

Visit

We invite parents and guardians to visit Vines Academy and discover if we are the right community for your child and family. You can do this by attending an information session or visiting with our executive director.

Our next information session will be on August 19, from 6:00 to 7:30. Please let us know that you will be attending by emailing andi.gutteridge@vinesacademy.org or texting the school at 219-309-3195.

You can also email or text to arrange a one-on-one meeting with our executive director.

Apply

At the end of the information session or one-on-one meeting, if you believe that Vines is the right place for your child, we will provide you with an application and arrange a classroom visit for your child.

Your child’s visit can be a full school day or a half day, depending on his or her needs.

Admissions

After your child’s visit, our executive director will send a formal e-mail inviting your child to enroll at Vines. Attached to the e-mail will be the official enrollment contract and all student forms that are to be completed before your child’s first day of school. There is a $200 enrollment fee to hold your child’s space if he or she will be a full-time student, and a $100 enrollment fee if you are choosing the homeschool option for your child.
