FAQs

The waiting list consists of all families interested in registering their children to Chamlian Armenian School. Students on the list are not ranked; if a space develops, all candidates for the space to be filled will be considered. Because there can be more applications to a school than openings at that school, enrollment is not guaranteed.

Does your waiting list roll over?
No, our waitlist does not roll over from year to year.  Waitlists remain in place through the end of each school year. For example, if an application is submitted for the 2022-23 school year, a child’s name will be on the waitlist only until the end of this year. The following year, everyone has an equal chance when reapplying.

What is the cutoff age for enrollment?
TK: Students whose date of birth falls between September 2 -December 31. 
Kindergarten: Students whose date of birth falls on or before September 1.

 

What is the difference between Pre-K and TK?
In TK classrooms, teachers use a modified Kindergarten curriculum that’s age-appropriate and developmentally appropriate for students who turn five years old in the fall. Our TK Program is designed to build a strong bridge between Preschool and Kindergarten. The curriculum is integrated with thematic units to promote development in the social-emotional, language, cognitive, and physical domains. In TK, our students also learn how to practice school-appropriate behavior. The Kindergarten CA Content and Common Core Standards are introduced in an explorative, integrated, and developmentally- appropriate environment. 

When does registration begin?
Registration for TK - 1: February 6, 2023
Registration for Grades 2-8: February 22, 2023

*Please note that registration invitation emails are not all sent out at once. 

Is there a waitlist deadline?
No

What is the difference between Campus Tours and Open House?
Campus tours are a general overview of our school facilities and programs with only the Director of Admissions. The Prospective Open House is a more comprehensive tour where families will have the opportunity to meet students, parents, teachers and administrators and learn about the programs offered.

Are enrollment guidelines different for students in Grades 2-8?
If your child is entering grades 2-8, you must still complete a waitlist form starting in October for the following academic year, in which you wish for your child to enroll. As registration closes for our current students in March, we will have a better idea whether space is available for your child. 

 

No, we serve students from grades TK-8th
