1. Book a school visit (optional but recommended)
Parents are encouraged to schedule a visit to the campus to gain a clear understanding of the environment and daily learning experience. The admissions office can arrange a tour and provide an overview of the curriculum and facilities.
2. Submit the application form
After your visit or initial contact, complete and submit the school’s application form to formally start the admissions process. Once the application is received, the school schedules a diagnostic test for the student.
3. Complete the Diagnostic Test
The diagnostic test is an online, untimed assessment designed to identify the student’s learning level across subjects. It can take several days to finish and ensures that each student begins the A.C.E. program at the most appropriate level for their abilities.
4. Review of results and parent interview
After the diagnostic test is complete, the admissions team meets with the parents and the student to review the results. If all parties agree to move forward, the parents will attend an interview with the principal to discuss alignment between the family and the school’s educational approach.
5. Document submission and final confirmation
Once the interview is completed and all required documents are submitted, the admissions office confirms the student’s enrollment and provides details for the start of the school year.
