Thank you for your interest in applying to LAMS! The following steps will help you know what to expect throughout the admissions process.
Please note: The application fee is non-refundable.
Applications open on December 1, 2024 for the 2025-2026 school year. Pre-k acceptance letters will be sent in late February 2025. All kindergarten-grade 12 applications will be entered into the waiting pool until March.
Step 1 – Schedule a Tour of LAMS
Step 2 – Create an Application Account
Step 3 – Submit the Online Application
You will need:
Step 4 – Intake Assessment (grades K-8)
All students applying for grades K through 8 are required to complete an intake assessment to determine developmental readiness and ensure your student’s success at LAMS. The assessment takes approximately an hour and a half (less for younger students). All kindergarten students are screened in a small group setting in mid-April.
Step 5 – Online Enrollment
Once LAMS determines acceptance, a FACTS Family Portal account will need to be set up and an Online Enrollment submitted. You will receive instructions to complete this step in your acceptance email. Once this last step has been completed, the student is officially enrolled at LAMS and eligible to attend class.
You will need to know the following information to complete the enrollment process:
Step 6 – Interview with Head of School
An interview completed by the Head of School is held with parents/guardians of qualified applicants to review LAMS’ educational programs as well as our mission and core values. This is an essential part of establishing a partnership between families and the school, setting expectations, and getting to know one another on a more personal level. Parents/guardians will be asked to share their personal testimony. The interview takes approximately 30-60 minutes.
We are here to support you throughout the enrollment process! If you have any questions, please feel welcome to contact us at any time:

At LAMS we view the program of the school as an extension of the Christian home and church. For this reason, at least one parent/guardian shall have a personal understanding of the new birth of Christ. Parents/guardians shall hold membership and be actively involved in a church congregation. Parents/guardians must agree that LAMS presents a Christian education reflecting Anabaptist principles and shall express harmony with the school’s position.
For enrollment in kindergarten through High School, grade level assessments will be administered. The following benchmarks will be considered for admission: reading and math scores within 5 months of grade level and written communication which displays grade-appropriate message and mechanics. Test results which raise concern will be considered by a team comprised of the administrator, learning support instructor, IU reading specialist, and specified classroom teachers. A decision to admit the enrollee will be based on the school’s presumed ability to meet the student’s academic, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. In addition, if the candidate appears to need special services, the decision to enroll will consider the availability of openings in these programs.
An informative interview will occur with the administrator where parent/guardians will be asked to share their personal testimony and their desire to enroll in a Christian school.
We will accept enrollment applications beginning in December. Our current patrons are given preference for PreK and Kindergarten until early February and grades 1 -12 till mid-March. Applications received prior to that date will be added to the class on a first come, first serve basis until the class is full.
