Apply - School Year Session | The Guardian Academy

Application Process

STEP 1: Complete the online application and pay the $75.00 Application Fee. Online payments will be accepted beginning May 10, 2024. Checks shall be made payable to The Guardian Retreat (put The Guardian Academy Application Fee on the memo line please) and mailed to The Guardian Academy, 19500 Horse Shoe Road Charles City, VA 23030. Only one application fee will be due per family.

STEP 2: Once the Application Fee has been received, the Guardian Academy Team will review the application. Applicants will be contacted to schedule an interview at the farm. We want to ensure that every family invited to join our academy is the right fit. While it sounds nice to most to visit and work on a farm, it is not the right fit for some. You need to decide if our immersive environment is the right fit for your family. This can only be achieved by visiting the farm.

STEP 3: The Guardian Academy Team will meet to discuss if your family and our academy are a good fit. An invitation to join us will be offered to those we feel will be a good fit. A thank you letter will be mailed to those who are not.

STEP 4: A deposit will be due upon acceptance of your invitation to our academy. The deposit is the first month's tuition ($500 per student for our two day program, $350 per student for our one day program). We do offer a 10% sibling discount. The first student will be full price and each additional sibling will be 10% off of the per student rate. A student qualifies for a sibling discount if they are the biological or adopted sibling of the first student and they reside in the same household. Please make checks payable to The Guardian Retreat (put The Guardian Academy Deposit on the memo line please) and mail it to 19500 Horse Shoe Road Charles City, VA 23030. Receipt of your deposit will secure your spot at The Guardian Academy. Please note: Online payments by credit card will be accepted beginning May 10, 2024.
