Age Requirements
An applicant for the 4 year old Pre-K program must be four years old, and an applicant for Kindergarten must be five years old by August first of the school year.
Academic Requirements
For grades 1-8, the applicant will be scheduled for a “placement test” and/or achievement testing to assess the student’s educational needs in relation to the anticipated grade level enrollment. Incoming freshmen are asked to take a Math and English. The grade placement for all students is assumed to be in accordance with previous fully completed grade level course work. However, should previous testing, teacher checks, or other school records indicate a question of placement, the Case Conference Committee and the family will discuss and agree on the final placement and the possible inclusion of additional services according to the needs of the student. Please note that MTI is not equipped to meet all special educational needs.
Health Records
Indiana state law requires immunization records to be provided to the school. MTI requires immunization records to be submitted with the application, if not provided, then the school will obtain immunization records from the child’s previous school.
Admissions Decisions
Acceptance to the school is based on the compatibility of the family with the general mission and purpose of the school, the student’s desire to attend MTI, and the needs of the student along with the school’s ability to meet those needs.
Non-Discrimination Policy
MTI School of Knowledge does not discriminate on the basis of religion, race, color, sex, national or ethnic origin, or disability.
