Pre-Enrollment

Students intent on enrolling at AMCS are offered admission through a public lottery. Each year applications for the admission lottery are accepted from the first week of November until March.

The lottery will be held on the week after spring break to fill enrollment vacancies in specific grades and classes. Only students eligible for grade-specific openings and those who submitted during the application period are included in the lottery. Students not chosen in the lottery remain on the wait list. Other students who apply after the application period will be put in the waitlist after the names of those included but not accepted in the lottery, in the order we receive the application.

Students currently enrolled at AMCS are given first priority for re-enrollment each year they are eligible. Priority placement for vacancies is given to siblings of current students only until pre-enrolment period. Siblings not included in the pre-enrolment will be placed in the wait list. If there are two or more eligible siblings, a drawing is held between them.
