Applying to ABA

We make a point of getting to know our students well - their interests, aspirations, and areas for growth - both in and outside of the classroom as the more we know, the more we can support your journey at ABA.  Complete the online application form to provide us with more detailed information.

ABA offers rolling admissions meaning that if we have space, we are happy to consider your application now, or as soon as you are ready - so apply early.

Students applying for Kindergarten 1- Grade 5 may be invited to visit a classroom as part of the admissions process.

Students applying for Grades 3-12 will be scheduled a placement screener at the appropriate time to provide the school with baseline skills equivalent in language and mathematics.

ABA accepts applications on a rolling basis throughout the year, subject to availability of spaces.  There is no set application deadline but we do have waitlists for our classes and the earlier you can apply, the better.

Students are responsible for being neat, clean and dressed appropriately for serious study.  Students are expected to take responsibility for their attire based on these codes and come to school dressed in an appropriate manner with a well-groomed appearance. In respect of our host culture, all clothing should be loose-fitting and plain (i.e. no embroidery, large logos, excessive rivets, large/numerous pockets, etc.)
