Yes, admission for the upcoming school year is open for Nursery, Kinder 1 & 2, and Grade 1 through Grade 6. Because we keep our class sizes small, slots are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until each grade level section is filled, so early application is encouraged.

New applicants generally need to submit a duly accomplished admission form, a PSA-issued birth certificate, two recent 2x2 photos, and a medical certificate.

There is no exam fee, and results are shared as part of the regular admission process within a few days.

Current FMA families may request this certificate from our Guidance Office, with a processing time of 2 to 3 working days and a minimal fee. This certificate is commonly required for transferees and scholarship applications.

Form 138 is your child's report card, showing grades per grading period for the current or most recently completed school year. It is commonly requested from students transferring from another school to verify their academic standing and confirm the correct grade level for enrollment. FMA students can access their own report card through the Student Portal or the Registrar's Office at the end of each grading period.

Yes, aside from full payment, FMA offers a monthly installment plan that spreads the remaining tuition balance across several months of the school year for qualified families. Please coordinate with the Accounting Office at accounting@fma.edu.ph to set up the plan that best fits your needs before the start of classes.

The reservation fee is a non-refundable amount (currently ₱2,000) paid to secure your child's slot for the upcoming school year, and it is deducted from the total tuition balance upon enrollment. This fee guarantees your child's seat in their grade level, especially since our class sizes are limited. Reservation fees can be paid at the Accounting Office or through the online payment option on the Student Portal.

If you officially withdraw before the start of classes, you are entitled to a full refund of tuition paid, minus the non-refundable reservation fee. Withdrawal within the first two weeks of classes qualifies for a partial refund, while no refund is granted after that point. All refund requests must be filed in writing at the Registrar's and Accounting Offices, and processing typically takes 15 to 20 working days.
