School Notes

  • Our Toddler class is available to children ages 18 months to 3 years of age, regardless of race, color, religion, or creed. ACH requires that a child be 18 months of age before their first day of school, before they may enter our program, unless observations by teachers determine otherwise. Primary (3-6) classes are open to children ages 2.56 years, regardless of race, color, religion, or creed. To begin in our 3-6 program, a child must be fully toilet-trained (not wearing a diaper or pull-up to school) and approaching independence when using the bathroom. Accidents do happen, but they should be the exception, not the norm. Not meeting this criterion may result in a delayed start date. Our Elementary I class is open to children aged 6-9 years old, regardless of race, color, religion, or creed. Elementary candidates should demonstrate the ability to cooperate in a group, show respect for teachers and the other children, be capable of working independently, and demonstrate an eagerness to learn. Our Elementary II class is open to children ages 9-12 years old, regardless of race, color, religion, or creed. Elementary candidates should demonstrate the ability to cooperate in a group, show respect for teachers and the other children, be capable of working independently, and demonstrate an eagerness to learn. Class placement will be determined based on the child's chronological age, maturation level, and recommendation from any previous teacher. The needs of the child will be of primary importance in every decision made.
