Effective from January 2025, Everest Academy is launching a new admissions process to streamline its current practices and to better manage its waitlist applications that have grown many folds.
Due to high demand, limited seats, and the need to better manage the wait list, applications will not roll over from one year to the next year. The waitlist will be cleared each year and start fresh for next year’s window, as the student and family needs and circumstances change each year.
All Students, current or new, will now need to enroll annually. The new process applies to grades DK (Developmental Kindergarten – 4 years old) through Grade 12. The process for PreK (Prekindergarten – 3 years old) is not changing at this time, as some parents have already applied for their students for the upcoming three years which we plan to work through.
Re-enrollment Window
Registration window for existing students will open from January 1 and last through January 31.
The enrollment application will be published in Quickschools for parents to re-enroll their students.
New Enrollment Window
New students must submit the waitlist application via our website starting from January 1 through February 28. The application will be active on our website during the window. Due to limited seats, Everest will cap the number of applications to 30 applicants. We aim to prevent disappointment by managing the high volume of applications and ensuring we can accommodate as many applicants as possible.
Starting around mid-February, we will begin by calling waitlisted applicants in the priority order outlined below. Students must meet academic requirements, including passing report cards and standardized test scores. If they do not meet these requirements, then we will move on to the next applicant on the list. The enrollment process must be completed by applying families within 3 days including the day of advice of enrollment.
New enrollers in the middle of the school year must pass placement exams with a 75% or higher score. They are kept on probation for their first grading period to finalize continued enrollment.
