Step 5: Enrollment & Tuition Payment

Age Placement:

At CAS we use the cut-off date of October 1st to determine grade allocation for age groups. Students should have reasonable maturity and clearly demonstrate readiness before enrolling in school.

Proof of Age Documentation

Prior to first time enrollment at the school, the parent or guardian must provide a certified copy of the child's birth certificate. In the event that a copy of the birth certificate cannot be obtained, another proof of the student's identity and date of birth may be accepted if it is accompanied by an affidavit explaining the inability to produce a copy of the birth certificate. Other reliable proofs of the child's identity and birth date may include a passport, visa or other governmental documentation of the child's identity.
