Our application is straightforward and includes contributions from both parent and student. We accept applications on a rolling basis for fall entry and, when space is available, during the school year.

spend a week at alc
After reviewing an application, prospective students are invited to spend a regular school week with us, allowing them to experience what it is like to be an ALC student, and giving us a chance to better understand the student in the context of our school. We will reach out to discuss dates and paperwork for a visiting week after reviewing your application.
05
enroll
Following the visiting week, students who want to join ALC may be offered an enrollment contract. Depending on timing and available space, enrollment may begin in the fall or mid-year.
Enrollment will be officially confirmed once the agreement is signed, deposit is paid, and all enrollment forms are submitted.
