It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Admission is considered on an individual basis. Admission and grade level placement are finalized after evaluation of previous school records, completion of school admission examinations (MAP for grades 3 through 10) and a personal interview with school administration. Transfer students require evaluation of their grades to determine which courses will transfer as credits to SJAS, and a letter from their previous school addressing academic and behavioral concerns. A student might be required to take one or more extra course(s) if MAP Exam results are not meeting the standards or criteria of success needed for the grade level. All students admitted to SJAS must live with a parent or legal guardian. If proper supervision is not established, a recommendation will be made to withdraw the student. Preschool and Kindergarten: Students will undergo an assessment and interview process similar to the older students. Children will be accepted into the school depending on availability. If there is no vacancy, you will be offered the opportunity to be placed on the waiting list. Children are accepted into the school on a first come, first served basis.
