All applications to St. Johnsbury Academy shall be made voluntarily. No student shall be denied acceptance for enrollment in St. Johnsbury Academy on the basis of disability (as defined in Section 504 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended), or that the student is eligible for special education or undergoing the comprehensive evaluation process for special education, or on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity or any other classification protected by federal or state law. It is the policy of St. Johnsbury Academy that a student who applies for admission shall be admitted if space is available, subject to the non–discrimination requirements above. If the number of applicants to St. Johnsbury Academy exceeds capacity, enrollment decisions shall be based first on continuing to enroll previously enrolled students and then on a rolling basis.
