ADMISSIONS POLICY

Our Admissions Team carefully reviews all applicants for admissions. Applicants must meet the academic and other criteria and must be a GOOD fit for our school.

GA will consider enrollment for any student whose needs can be met by the school’s programs. We do not accept students entering the 12th grade or students entering the 11th after the fall term has begun nor do we accept students EXPELLED from attending institutions.

Students entering Pre-K4-Grade 11 are required to sit an entrance examination and upon the satisfactory recommendation (Grade 3-12) from attending school along with passing results on the entrance examination applicant will be accepted. In necessary cases admission and placement decision may be based on student’s age. The school reserves the right to require additional supplementary measures at parental expense if deemed necessary, to ensure the success of all students.

Applications will not be reviewed until the entire application process, including application fee payment, supporting documents, testing, and interview with the Principal, is completed.
