Application Process

• Parents email current school via the AYA checklist to give permission for records to be released.

• Parents email principal and required teacher/s as per checklist via the AYA portal to complete evaluations.

• Parents upload testing and recommendations via the portal if student has been tested.

• Parents complete all required steps of the checklist

The Admission Committee selects students on the basis of school records, teacher recommendations, and school visit observations. All admission decisions are made in the best interest of each student. Once openings in each grade level have been filled, qualified applicants will be placed on a waiting list and notified should new openings occur.

If accepted, you will be granted access to our online enrollment agreement and given detailed instructions and timeline for completion. The enrollment agreement is a financial commitment. If you withdraw your child's enrollment on or before May 5, you will not be assessed any charges for tuition and fees. After that date, you may still be obligated to pay tuition and fees according to the terms of the enrollment agreement.

Additional forms will be sent via AYAConnect in July once your child is enrolled.  A birth certificate and updated vaccination records will be required. ECP students must also complete a Doctor Permission form at this time.

Once application has been submitted, previous school records requested, and student visit scheduled, you may apply for Financial Aid. To learn more about Financial Aid, click here.
