JBA Application Process


Update for JBA Families and Nominees

We’re so excited for the next step in your Joseph Baldwin Academy journey! Our invitation emails to begin the JBA application process were scheduled to go out this week. However, we’ve encountered a minor technical issue that’s causing a short delay in sending them.

Our team is working quickly to resolve the issue, and invitations will be sent as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm—we can’t wait to officially welcome you to this year’s applicant group!


Once a school official or homeschool student has been nominated – these are the required steps:

  1. Eligible nominees will receive an email notification at the end of October/early November with application materials to complete.
  2. Once the materials are completed, our office will begin reviewing students. Selection is based upon:
    • online application information
    • a complete school transcript or grade cards (two full years)
    • recommendation from a current teacher
    • parent authorization on the on line form
  3. Applications will not be accepted without all the required information completed.
  4. Applications will receive priority consideration if received no later than December 1, 2025 (applications received December 2, 2025 – January 7, 2026 will be considered next).
  5. After the application deadline, currently received applications will be under review by our faculty for selection.
  6. Students will be notified of acceptance in early March.

Late Applications

Students whose applications and materials are submitted after January 7, 2026, are considered late. Late applications will be added to our waiting list.

Availability of additional spots to offer may be determined by the end of March/beginning of April.
