The Admission Process
Every Student's Journey Begins Here
Choosing the right educational environment is one of the most important decisions a family can make. At Diverse Learning Academy of the Arts (DLA), our admissions process is designed to be collaborative, informative, and centered on the individual needs of each student.
We understand that every learner is unique. Our goal is to ensure that every student receives the educational supports, opportunities, and learning environment needed to grow academically, socially, emotionally, and personally.
Whether you are a parent exploring private school options or a New Jersey school district seeking an appropriate placement for a student with an Individualized Education Program (IEP), our admissions team is here to guide you through every step of the process.
Two Admissions Pathways
School District Placements & Referrals
Diverse Learning Academy of the Arts (DLA) is a New Jersey Department of Education approved nonpublic school serving students in Kindergarten through age 21.
We welcome referrals from school districts, Child Study Teams, educational consultants, and families seeking an individualized educational program designed to meet each student's unique academic, social, emotional, and behavioral needs.
Referrals are accepted throughout the school year and are reviewed by our multidisciplinary admissions team to determine whether DLA is an appropriate educational placement based on the student's individual needs, available programs, and classroom capacity.
As part of the admissions process, we collaborate closely with families and educational teams to ensure that every student receives the educational supports and services necessary to promote meaningful growth and long-term success.
School districts interested in discussing a potential referral are encouraged to contact our Admissions Office to begin the referral process.
