Ingleside Tutorial, Inc. believes the literal word and authority of the Bible. The methodologies of Charlotte Mason’s academic principles are how we implement this worldview in the classroom. We also ask families of Ingleside students submit to our Statement of Faith and the Apostles Creed as a basis of theological understanding. If your worldview and/or belief system is different, you will not find us to be a good fit for your family nor your child’s educational needs.

The following is an overview of the admissions process:

1.       Ingleside Tutorial follows Charlotte Mason’s principles of education. Therefore, our methods are very different from traditional education.
