2024-2025 School Year Enrollment and Registration

Parents want schools that develop great students AND great people, but traditional schools are very limited in how they can work with your unique child. When you send your child to Southgate Academy, you send them into a whole community that gets to know our students and their families so that you and your child are truly seen and heard.

Enrollment begins with our New Student Enrollment form. This quick and easy form allows you to send us information about you and your student and begins the enrollment process.

Returning students and newly enrolled students must register for the each school year through our Regsitration Portal.

Dedicated to developing the WHOLE child.

As an alternative school we believe that all students have the right to learn and are able to demonstrate a higher level of academic achievement and personal integrity to family, community, school, and self through an integrated educational experience.

M.A.C.I.L.O.S - Making A Change In Lives Of Students.

Based in part on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, our M.A.C.I.L.O.S. program goes beyond academics to help students lead fulfilling lives by discovering the world outside of their community.
