The Enrollment Process
Families are encouraged to visit CLA for a tour. Parents and students are
welcome to spend time observing in our classrooms. This is often the most
important part of the enrollment process.
 An application for each student must be completed and received by
the school office accompanied by academic records and a check for
the appropriate registration fees.
Once the school has received the application and registration fees, we will
contact you to set up a family interview.
Upon completion of the interview and any required admission screening,
families are notified regarding their acceptance into CLA.
Enrolled families receive a statement from our business office detailing the
terms of your tuition based on the plan you have selected.
