Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Age requirements. ACS serves KG1 through Grade 12. A child must be 4 years old before September 1 to enroll in KG1, 5 for KG2, and 6 for Grade 1. Grades 2–12 have age guidelines and the admissions team reviews files to determine the best fit for the student.
2. Pre-Application. Begin with a Pre-Application to ACS, creating an online profile in the Veracross system. The Veracross system sends a username and a link to create a password; do not re-start the Pre-Application if you navigated away.
3. Application Form. Log in to the Application Form and complete the required sections; you can move in and out of the form as you work. All required sections must be marked completed before review, and the non-refundable application fee must be paid.
4. Required documents. Submit Report Cards for the previous two years, any standardized test scores, and Confidential Assessment Forms from your current school. High school transcript for Grades 10-12 when available; include additional documents such as IEPs, 504 plans, or psychological/educational evaluations if relevant. Upload PDFs in the Additional Documents section.
5. Schedule a visit. Schedule a campus tour (ACS offers tours Monday–Wednesday at 9 a.m.); a confirmation email is sent when the tour is confirmed. Virtual tours are also available.
6. Admissions timeline and review. Applications for the 2026-27 school year are open. The Admissions Timeline outlines waves of applications and when admissions decisions are typically communicated. Completed applications are time-stamped and Admissions Office staff will verify each document before determining if they are ready for review.
