Applying to Shelton Academy

Thank you for your interest in our school! The information below will help guide you through the application and admissions process. Admission is based on an evaluation of academic records, an application questionnaire, a personal interview with the student, and the availability of class space.

Documents in a foreign language must be translated into English, and include a full evaluation of course taken (with particular emphasis on Math and Science equivalents to U.S courses). For more information or to schedule an appointment, please contact: admissions@sheltonacademyschools.net.
