Application Process

 

Our Admissions process includes every effort to ensure that Chamlian Armenian School is the best fit for all students who meet the criteria for the admissions policies, and that all prospective students will align with the school’s mission. 

• Waiting list opens every year on October 1, at 8:00 a.m. 
• The school follows admissions priority guidelines, as listed below, for all students entering grades 1-8. For waitlist applicants in TK and Kindergarten, the school follows priority guidelines based on waitlist status only. 

 

• Between October and February, our Director of Admissions and Records will contact prospective families, in the order of priority based on our admissions guidelines, to schedule a visit of our school facilities. Prospective students are required to attend this visit and a brief interview will be conducted with parent and child.  
• Tours can be scheduled, using a sign-up link, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. Afternoon tours are also available on Tuesdays from 4:00 p.m.- 5:00 p.m. You may also attend our Prospective Student Open House in lieu of a separate campus tour.

• All prospective families are required to meet our Director of Admissions and Records for a brief informal interview, either during the campus visit or scheduled for at a different time. 
• Interviews will include prospective parent(s) and student(s)
• The purpose of the interviews is for the school and the prospective student families to get to know each other
• After the informal interview, a confidential evaluation form will be provided for your child’s school to complete and submitted during registration.

 

Registration will open in February. Based on our Admissions criteria, you will receive an email with instructions on how to register. Please note that if your child’s name is not on the wait list, you will not be able to register for the following school year.
