Any student enrolling in Kindergarten must be five (5) years old before September 1 for
the school year they wish to start Kindergarten.
Students that turn five years old (5) on or after September 1 but before January 1 will be
considered “Early Kindergarten” applicants.
While AMS accepts early kindergarten applications, they will be considered for
enrollment on a case-by-case basis behind students who meet the minimum age
requirement. Early kindergarten applicants are generally not considered for enrollment
until the late spring or early summer prior to the start of the school year. Early
kindergarten applicants must satisfy readiness requirements identified through an
emotional, academic and/or readiness assessment before being accepted to a school.
This process ensures that early admission is in the best interest of the child. The AMS
Superintendent shall have sole discretion in determining whether to offer admission to
an early kindergarten applicant.
