JRX Academy · Admissions
Interest list openTell us about your learner
Every family has a story. Every student has potential.
Our holistic process looks beyond grades and test scores to understand the whole child — strengths, interests, and aspirations. Decisions are based on program fit, student readiness, and available space.
Our commitment
The intended process keeps affordability separate from admissions decisions. Funding availability is not guaranteed and is confirmed for each intake.
Applications are not open yet — the interest list is. Join the interest list for updates about a future intake. Joining the list is not an application or an offer of a place.
Start here
Most families arrive with the same four questions. Here they are, answered in order.
Parent question 1 of 4
Is my child a fit?
We are not looking for a certain kind of test score. We are looking for families who want their child known, stretched, and held to something.
JRX tends to fit students who are…
- Capable but not thriving where they are now.
- Curious, and losing that curiosity in a large classroom.
- Ready for more responsibility than they are currently given.
- Doing fine on paper while something is clearly missing.
- Needs to be known by adults who notice when the day goes wrong.
And what we say plainly
- We are a small school in a beta year, not a large campus with every amenity.
- Students are expected to reflect, repair, and contribute — not just comply.
- Days are long, because before-school, academics, Quests, meals, and mentoring all live inside them.
Fit is a two-way conversation. A visit and a conversation tell you more than any page can — and admissions decisions are made independently of financial need.
Parent question 2 of 4
What does a week look like?
One rhythm, repeated Monday through Friday, with optional weekend Quests on top of it. Here is the whole shape before you ask.
- 7:30–8:40 AMBefore-school programSupervised outdoor play, games, and movement.
- 8:40–9:00 AMEveryone togetherWhole-community gathering, warm-up, and the day's virtue.

- 5:20–6:00 PMMentoringSmall-group reflection: what worked, what was hard, what changes tomorrow.
Monday–Friday
The daily rhythm above, from before-school through mentoring and dismissal at 6:00 PM.
Saturday & Sunday
Optional Saturday & Sunday Quests — capacity-based sessions families register for.
Across the beta year
The current beta year runs August 24, 2026–June 11, 2027. Published Quest days have their own dates and availability.
Parent question 3 of 4

$13,000 per year
Standard annual tuition, published in full.

How affordability is handled
Financial assistance depends on available funding and is never guaranteed, but admissions and financial assistance are reviewed independently — what your family can pay does not affect whether your child is admitted. Step Up for Students scholarships and Crusader Credits are part of the picture too.

Step 9
Admissions Decision
Decisions are communicated clearly, respectfully, and with next steps included.
Accepted
A seat is offered for the term you applied to. You will receive enrollment steps, tuition options, and an orientation invitation.
Waitlisted
No place is available now. The written notice explains whether and how JRX will retain the application for that intake.
Deferred
JRX needs more information or another conversation before a person can make a decision. The written notice gives the next step.
Future Opportunity
JRX may identify a different term, program, or preparation step for the family to consider. This is not an offer of a place.
Step 10
Tuition & Affordability Review
If funding options are available for an intake, they are reviewed separately from the admissions decision. Assistance is not guaranteed.
Reviewed independently
If financial assistance, scholarships, or payment plans are available for an intake, they are reviewed separately from the admissions decision. Availability and timing must be confirmed; assistance is not guaranteed.
- Need-based assistance under development
- Scholarships under development
- Sliding-scale pathways under development
- Payment plans under development
Step 11
Enrollment
After a written offer, families receive the enrollment steps that actually apply to that intake. An interest-list entry is not enrollment.
Enrollment begins only after a written offer and confirmed start arrangements.

Building a real venture instead?
The Founder Pathway is a separate, selective 18-month beta pathway. No cohort has started yet, people make every admission decision, and applying does not guarantee a place or a business outcome.
