To be admitted, a child has to have reached the required age by September 1st. All preschool applicants (Nursery to KG2, age 2 – 4) will be placed based on their age regardless of their previous schooling placement.

Preschool Requirements for KG1 and Up
All students admitted to our preschool program must meet the following requirements:
Admissions Entrance Testing
Students applying to the regular program in grades 2-12 pass MAP Growth Assessments in Reading, Mathematics & Language Usage. In addition to MAP testing, students in grades 9-12 must also take an appropriate, target-grade-level writing prompt and a Student Interview with the HS Principal or the Admissions Director. To be admitted to ASB, students must show sufficient academic ability in Mathematics and in English and must demonstrate satisfactory performance across all areas of the curriculum .
Probationary Period of Acceptance
All newly admitted students are placed on automatic probation for their first year at ASB. The school will use this period to evaluate the student’s ability to perform successfully in our program. If it turns out that the student is struggling and is unable to keep up with our program, the school reserves the right to counsel the student out of ASB at the end of their first year.
