AHSA Enrollment Process
Our personalized approach means we create an educational plan that's tailored to how the individual student learns best.
That personalized approach begins right from when the student applies to AHSA. Our open-enrollment allows students the flexibility to begin classes at any time of the year and to study at their own pace and have their progress monitored throughout regardless of whether they've enrolled in the home-based or classroom-based program.
Our admission process begins with an appointment with an Admissions Specialist to learn more about AHSA's programs and to conduct a credit evaluation based on the student's official transcript. At enrollment, full-time students meet with the school's principal, a certified school counselor, for academic planning and scheduling.
