For Nursery and Pre-Nursery (only applicable at the Posluns Branch):

Admission begins with Nursery, and priority is always given to Nursery-age applicants. In accordance with Ministry of Education regulations, each Nursery class may accommodate only a limited number of Pre-Nursery-aged children, in the event that we do not fill all spots in the Nursery classroom with Nursery-aged children. Prioritization of applications for Nursery, as well as the waitlist, is as follows:

1. If applicable, reregistrations from current Pre-Nursery students to the following year’s Nursery cohort received by the reregistration deadline communicated in a given year
2. Sibling applications from siblings of current AHS students or AHS graduates to the Nursery-age cohort (provided they are received by January 1 for entry two Septembers later)
3. Applications from children of AHS alumni or staff to the Nursery-age cohort
4. Other applications to the Nursery-age cohort
5. In the event that spots remain unfilled by the Spring/Summer leading up to September entry, the School may offer these spots to Pre-Nursery-aged siblings. The School will send a communication to the families who have children in this age group who have put in applications for the following year (Nursery).

For JK-Grade 8:

For all other grades, we prioritize reregistrations from current AHS students received by the reregistration deadline communicated in a given year, followed by registrations for siblings of current AHS students or AHS graduates received by January 1 for the academic year beginning two Septembers later (e.g., January 1, 2026 for September 2027; January 1, 2027 for September 2028, etc.). After that point, we accept applications on a rolling, first-come, first-served basis for available spots.

Prioritization on the waitlist for JK – Grade 8 is as follows:

1. Late Reregistrations from current AHS students for their grade cohort in the following year
2. Sibling applications from siblings of current AHS students or AHS graduates (provided they are received by January 1 for entry two Septembers later)
3. Applications from children of AHS alumni or staff
4.  Other applications, in the order they were received
