Admission Process

The Foothills Academy Admission Process is intended to provide prospective families with a mini-experience of Foothills by putting into place strategies that reflect the mission of the school:

  • providing a cooperative environment that thrives on respect
  • placing the student at the center of the experience
  • using an integrated, hands-on approach.

You may call the school today at 303-431-0920 for extensive over-the-phone information, an opportunity to ask all your questions and receive immediate answers, as well as the assurance of an information packet and tuition schedule to follow. The process proceeds in the following way:

  • Call to schedule your parent appointment with Mary L. Faddick, Head of School
  • Come for your hour-long visit with the Head and tour of the Foothills Academy campus; obtain application forms and tuition assistance forms at the time of this visit
  • Schedule your student’s two-day classroom visitation
  • Bring your student for the two-day visitation with application and one-time-per-family $100 deposit
  • Receive a feedback phone-call from the Head regarding your student’s visitation
  • Receive a letter of acceptance—pending space availability after Foothills' re-enrollment is determined—or a letter stating that the student will be placed in a waiting pool, or that the student was not the right fit for Foothills Academy.

Foothills Academy tuition for the 2007-2008 school year:
Early Childhood Education Center: $9,200 per year
Grades K – 8: $10,500 per year
Grades 9 – 12: $12,800 per year

Tuition may be paid through three different payment plans, following payment of a non-refundable tuition deposit.

Each Foothills Academy family is expected to provide an additional $800 per year. This money provides for all the resources, materials, enrichment activities, and faculty support that tuition does not provide. A variety of fundraising opportunities offer each family the means to reach their $800, including an annual auction. Cash donations provide tax credit, as Foothills is a 501(c)(3) corporation.
