The Process
CGA accepts applications throughout the year. Official enrollment season for the upcoming school year begins February 10, 2025. Though you may enter the application process as early as you’d like, registration and attendance at one of our Preview Days is a requirement prior to being accepted into enrollment, so please plan accordingly and take advantage of our Preview Day opportunities, posted below.
To begin the process, please submit the application linked below and the non-refundable application fee. Once your application has been submitted, if you have already attended a Preview Day, you will receive an email to schedule student assessment by a CGA teacher upon receipt of the application and fee. We look specifically to determine if math, reading, writing, and grammar are at the appropriate grade level. If you have not yet attended a Preview Day, your application will not yet be processed.
The final step in the application process is the parent interview. This is an opportunity for parents to meet with our administration to learn more about CGA and for us to learn more about your family.
Please note that, for their starting year, Kindergarten students must turn five by September 30.
