The school is a bilingual educational institution with core classes taught primarily in English, and graduates earn a U.S. high school diploma along with a Mexican bachillerato certificate. 2. Visit the campus. CAT welcomes you to visit the school facilities to witness the unique learning environment, and you may set up an appointment by calling or emailing. 3. Start your journey. You can email CAT, contact via WhatsApp, or use the Application Form to begin the admissions process. 4. Early Childhood Admissions. Students who want to enroll in early childhood at CAT should take a screening test to assess their developmental skills and language skills according to their chronological age. The required documents include four color photographs (credential size), an updated birth certificate (original and two copies), the current report card, a behavior letter, a copy of the student's CURP, a letter of economic solvency (for new families), two recommendation letters (for new families), a utility bill, a health certificate from the family doctor, two immunization records, and the CAT registration form. Early Childhood evaluations have no charge; results are provided two weeks after the evaluation, and the children may be registered thereafter. Authorization for registration depends on test results, the director's decision, and availability. Siblings of CAT students have priority, as do the children of former CAT students. 5. Elementary Admissions. All students interested in Elementary School should take an English entrance exam. The documents to submit to the Admissions and Community Relations Office include: four color photographs, an updated birth certificate, copies of grades from the past two years and the current school year, a Good Conduct/Discipline letter, a letter of economic solvency (for new families), two recommendation letters (two CAT families), a utility bill, a health certificate by a family doctor, two immunization records, and the CAT Registration Form. Returning CAT students, after one year abroad in an English-speaking school, must have a complete file and sign up for the entrance exam. The school notes that it is a credible preparatory, bilingual and bicultural institution and does not have a program or resources for students with special/different needs. 6.
