When can my family visit Stratford Academy?

We would love to have you visit while school is in session so you can experience Stratford “in action” through a campus tour or a shadow day; however, if you cannot make it during the school year, tours are available year-round.Please contact the Admissions Office at 478-477-8073 ext. 203 to set up an appointment.

How diverse is your student body?

Diversity is very important to us. We are dedicated to being a school community which represents a broad range of ethnic, religious, socioeconomic, and racial diversity. Students of color represent 21% of our current population.

How do I arrange a shadow day for my child?

We recommend that all applicants visit Stratford for a shadow day to get a true feel for our school. Please contact the Admissions Office at 478-477-8073 ext. 203 to schedule a shadow day. We like to hear from you personally so we can get an idea of your child’s interests inside and outside of the classroom before paring him or her with a shadow buddy.

What does Stratford look for in candidates for admissions?

In every applicant’s case, Stratford looks for a “good fit” - academically, socially, and behaviorally. Our goal is to admit students who have the will to work hard and the desire to be successful.

Does my child need to take a test to be considered for admission?

Yes. All applicants need to take our admissions test. The test can be scheduled in conjunction with a shadow day or campus tour or on a separate day. Please contact the Admissions Office at 478-477-8073 ext. 203 to schedule your child’s admissions test.

How do I apply for financial aid?

Our financial aid application opens November 15th. Anyone can apply for our need-based aid. Go to www.sssbynais.org and click on parent portal. New users will have to create an account. You must reapply for financial aid every year.

Booster Club

The Booster Club, formed in 1975, provides support to Stratford’s athletic and marching band programs. The Booster Club seeks and welcomes the participation of Stratford parents, grandparents, staff, coaches, alumni, and friends.

Funds are raised through membership dues, program advertising, concession stand sales, the annual Jeep Raffle & Auction Event, and the annual Grady Smith Golf Tournament. The Booster Club Board of Directors, assisted by the Athletic Director and Head of School, allocates these funds for specific projects each school year.

Booster Club funds have purchased field maintenance equipment, athletic gear, musical instruments, training tools for teams, and made numerous facility improvements possible.

Information about sports program advertising, membership levels, the board of directors, and Booster Club events can be found below.

In addition, anyone having questions or suggestions should contact Booster Club Board President Honey Miscall at honeymiscall@yahoo.com.
