Entrance evaluation is required of all students. The Admissions Committee's evaluation may include, but is not limited to a review of the student's school records, including grades and standardized test scores, recommendations of former teachers, and entrance testing. Instruments used for entrance tests are the Independent School Entrance Examination (ISEE) for grades 6-12, the Kaufman Assessment Battery for children (K-ABC) for grades 1-5, and the Kaufman Survey for grades 3K-5K. These tests will be considered as yet one more indicator of the likelihood of success in TA's learning environment. Students entering the PreSchool must be 3 years-old by September 1, the birthday deadline for early childhood programs. We require that children be toilet trained prior to the first day of school. The foremost goal of the school's admission policy is to determine whether a child will have an enjoyable, successful, and confidence-building academic and social experience while in Tuscaloosa Academy's college preparatory program.
