The first step for admission into Imago Dei Foothills Academy is to meet and/or speak with the founder of Imago Dei, Terra Beck who can be reached at:

(828) 610-3558 or

Parents of prospective students will fill out a Student Application. The Statement of Faith must be signed on the application. In July, parents pay a $500 Commitment Fee (per family and nonrefundable unless your child is placed on a waiting list)*. After we have received the Student Application and Statement of Faith signed, your child’s name will be placed on the roster in PENDING status.

​

*Due to the scholarship awards being granted in March or later, the $500 nonrefundable commitment fee per family will not be paid until July.

After receiving all records (previous school records, psychological testing, end of year results, IEP, etc.) Imago Dei will set a time for your child to be placement tested.
Parents will work with IDFA to locate a testing center for their child. If your child has been tested recently, IDFA can evaluate standardized and/or professional testing which occurred within one school year to determine if additional testing is needed. If there are behavior concerns, an observation may be needed by IDFA staff prior to acceptance. 

After completion of testing and results viewed from IDFA, your child will receive an acceptance or denial letter from Imago Dei Foothills Academy. Once your child has admittance into IDFA, your child’s name on the roster will move from Pending to Active status.
