Applying to AAS
The Admissions Process
The AAS school year runs from the fourth Wednesday in August to the third week in June.
Whilst applications are accepted throughout the school year, admissions for Pre-kindergarten is generally restricted to September and January.
The school may also not accept admission for any grade after the beginning of May. In all cases, the needs and interests of the children already enrolled in the class will be taken into account as well as the needs of the applicant and places can only be offered if space allows.
