Arcadia has plenty to offer homeschooled students. You will find your place within our close-knit community, and our faculty members work with you one-on-one to make sure you reach your educational goals.
We encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible. Admission offers and scholarships are awarded on a rolling basis, meaning that we make decisions as applications are received.
We will notify you of our admission decision within a few weeks of receiving your completed application, and contact you if further information is needed.
We will send you information about paying a deposit ($400 for resident students, $200 for commuter students) to secure your place in the incoming class. You will need to let us know by May 1 if you will attend Arcadia. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and to provide our students and families with more time to make their final decision during this unprecedented time, we are extending the deposit deadline to June 1, 2021.
