Student Enrollment
2025-2026 Open Enrollment Application Info
This two-week period is designed to work with our prospective families to allow everyone to have the fairest opportunity to receive an open space. If you submit your application at 8am on February 19th or at 3pm on March 5th, they are both treated as if they arrived at the same time. All applications received during the two-week open enrollment period will be treated the same. Any application received AFTER 3pm on March 5th will be provided as a first come first serve priority to receiving an open spot for the upcoming school year.
If, during the two-week open enrollment period, we receive more applications for a specific grade level than space available, we will place each of those student names into a random selection lottery. Students will be placed in the grade level in the order they are drawn with the exception of the sibling preference policy. (see below) Once all spaces are filled, the remaining students will be placed on the waitlist in the order they are pulled, with the exception of the sibling preference policy.
Sibling Preference Policy: At Tipton, as a family school we strive to keep families together. Once one sibling has received an available space, it moves up the priority of any additional siblings. It does not guarantee a space because we have classroom limitations, but it does move them up to the next available space based on the rule.
To begin the process, all you have to do is complete the following questions that provide us necessary information to accurately count students per grade level. You will need to complete a SEPARATE form for each individual child you would like to enroll. Once we have completed the two-week open enrollment period, we will contact parents that have applied and let them know the next step. If your child receives a space, it will be held for a designated period of time. Your child is, however, not enrolled. You MUST complete a registration packet in order to fully register your child to attend Tipton Academy.
That was quite a bit of information! If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact our main office @ Tipton EAST -734-261-0500. We also have two informational events coming up! If you are unable to attend please contact office@tipton-academy.

Educational Philosophy
Tipton Academy represents “team spirit” and “positive partnerships” with students and families, all school staff and members of the community.
The teaching staff is keenly aware that they must be positive role models and caring instructors and exhibit characteristics such as integrity, creativity, loyalty, responsibility, honesty, and intelligence that are valued by all stakeholders.
In addition, it is very important that both the teacher and the parent communicate regularly regarding their children. Both should be open and responsive to one another’s suggestions and concerns.
